ANALYSIS/OPINION:

In this latest episode of “Prosecutors Gone Wild,” special counsel Robert Mueller performed what can only be described in legal terms as “pulling a Jim Comey.”

Like the disgraced FBI ex-director and admitted leaker and liar Mr. Comey, Mr. Mueller has never been elected to so much as dog catcher. He has ZERO political authority whatsoever.

Still, like Mr. Comey before him, Mr. Mueller thirsts for the limelight. As President Trump once said of Mr. Comey, Mr. Mueller is a “showboat.”

Both men covet the political stage, where Mr. Trump holds more authority than any other single politician in the country.

If this is confusing, read the Constitution. Mr. Trump is the one and only elected official in the entire executive branch. And he is the only politician — save for his runnng-mate vice president — who is picked by a national electorate.
