Is it time to shut the Mueller investigation down?

The evidence is mounting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's open-ended investigation into whether President Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton (which has turned up nothing on that specific front) is becoming more than just a political burr under the saddle of President Trump.  It may be a growing national security problem.

Here are four points that demonstrate the extent of this problem.

First, the law of two can play that game is coming into play, changing the nature of diplomacy – for the worse.

Mueller's team indicted 12 GRU-linked Russians for hacking, which they probably did, as his means of showing that something is there on the hacking front and can be brought to court.  In the past, this was never done.  Cold Warriors stayed in the shadows and played their rough law-of-the-jungle games, unknown to civilians, but now Mueller wants it brought out into the open on new terms, through courts and lawyers and jail terms.  The Russians can see this, and that has prompted them to issue tit-for-tat retaliation.  Russia's investigators are calling for questioning of former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul, who they know is one of the loudest and most obnoxious anti-Trump Obama officials, and President Trump has apparently left that door open.

The redirection of Mueller's 'investigation' sure has me quizzing what's up.

It's well known that the Russians targeted both sides of the political aisle, but Mueller seems very selectively focused on Democrats being hacked, as if he's trying to swerve things ultimately into some sort of collusion with the Trump campaign to do a cyber version of Watergate.

Then to reach out across the pond with these indictments of GRU agents and such who we have no control over, with the fallout as the article points out, being off in the weeds wandering into serious national security issues.

Mueller seems to be tilting into a windmill on this, and does not care or even wants to think about the consequence of his actions. Or maybe he has a very ugly, scorhed earth end game.
