The Mueller report proved Mueller is Mister Clean. He plays it safe and right by the book.

I was hoping he would have tested the book because this is a unique and dangerous moment. I was hoping he would indict people around Trump for conspiracy and name Trump as an Un-indicted co-conspirator. Mueller did a good job but was it good enough.

History will be the final judge on how good of job Mueller did.

We had one after Nixon, but unfortunately dropped it after the excesses against Clinton. The current special counsel regulations were meant to be a substitute with more restraints, but it is not equal to the job.

I think we have to come up with a new independent counsel law that can investigate and with explicit permission to indict, but limited scope of investigation so it can't be a fishing expedition.
