I am not a Trump supporter, but a hard-core leftie who supported Green and Justice Party candidates in the past two presidential elections. Yet I stand with supporters of President Trump in their distrust of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

We make a grave mistake when we surrender our democracy to federal bureaucrats like Mueller, no matter how reasonable and fair-minded they may seem. The men and women who rise to the top jobs at the FBI, CIA, and the Pentagon understand that their true masters are not the people, but money and power — and they are not above partisan politics and careerism.
