"American Values"

Trump’s tweet early Tuesday morning criticized special Mueller and his investigation, calling Mueller "conflicted" and a "damage to our criminal justice system."

10 times, since the recent midterms. the president has used Twitter to complain about the investigation.

The "witch hunt" narrative has become so thread-bare that Trump is moving past that ploy by attacking Mueller’s character and career, a move based on Trump's personal prejudices.

Everyone familiar with Mueller's career knows he is a man of integrity and honor who has earned the public’s trust.

Tuesday's tweets were not the first time the president accused the special counsel of being conflicted, but Trump has yet to provide any evidence for this claim.

Trump does not understand this reflects on him rather than the Justice Department.

But the proof is in the pudding. Mueller's results make it clear that his investigation is anything but a partisan ploy. His investigation has indicted or yielded guilty pleas from 32 people and three companies, including two dozen Russians.

Most recently, former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort reneged on his agreement to cooperate with investigators by, Mueller alleges, feeding them false information.



Other Trump associates have pleaded guilty to lying including Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos and Alex van der Zwaan. Who is the one who comes out looking untrustworthy?

According to a new poll from Law Works and Hart Research, 82 percent of voters, including 66 percent of Republicans, believe that "Mueller should be allowed to finish his investigation, because everyone must abide by the rule of law, even the president."

Mueller embodies the core values of the American justice system: prudence, honor and integrity. Mueller is a decorated veteran who has dedicated his life to defending the country from all manner of threats, from foreign armies to terrorists to organized crime.

Trump? Hardly.
