What Now?

Thankfully, the election is behind us. Jeff Sessions is out as Attorney General and his replacement is on the record as believing that he need not fire Mueller to shut down his on-going investigation, he can cripple it by eliminating the funding for it. Would that set up the possibility of the investigation continuing until the new congress is sworn in and then they can fund it? Are there sealed indictments to be released? Did Mueller hold sealed indictments until after the election so as not to seem partisan? Questions abound. What is certain is that the Democrats now control the house. This means that they have some ability to hold the president accountable. The trick is that they must exercise restraint in how they proceed. Mueller has acted the way prosecutors should conduct investigations. There have been no leaks, no press conferences and no interviews. In time, the results will come forward. The wild speculation by both sides are without factual basis. It would be nice if both sides would stop the hysteria and wait for the results.
