Maybe Robert Mueller never had a political agenda after all. Maybe, just maybe, he is a patriotic public servant whose motive was answering the call of duty, to protect our elections from very real Kremlin skullduggery. No more, no less.

And maybe everybody who has slandered Mueller for more than two years, following the lead of our slander-happy president, were always wrong to ascribe nefarious motives to someone whose whole career refutes the “nefarious motive” scenario.
