Sometimes beneath the noble exterior, human imperfection is exposed, and a sturdy reputation is shattered.

With the recent passing of Robert Mueller we are reminded that even accomplished figures can stumble into an abyss of poor decisions and regrettable mistakes. His tarnished legacy is the sad coda to a once towering life and career.

Mueller’s earlier service in the military and high government positions, including as director of the FBI, was commendable. But in May 2017, he agreed to serve as special counsel to investigate allegations that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

What followed was a contemptible partisan inquisition that tore the nation apart and severely impaired Trump’s first term in office. Thuggish tactics, coercion, and threats were deployed, innocent people were targeted and persecuted and legal rights were shredded — leaving lives in ruins.

The left insisted we shouldn't criticize him after his death because he had been a military hero. Yeah, well, a lot of things happened in the intervening years, so I'll ignore that directive.
