Mueller appointed Special Counsel: Ten reasons for Dems, Republicans to breathe easier

Republicans – and Democrats – should take a breath. For once, all Americans should be happy. Deputy Attorney General, Rod J. Rosenstein, formally named Robert S. Mueller III, a widely admired, no-nonsense former Republican and Democratic FBI Director, to oversee – and conclude – the insinuation-saturated investigation into whether or not, and to what degree, Russia may have sought to influence the recent US presidential election. 

Why should Republicans and Democrats be happy? Ten reasons. 

First, the Attorney General’s wise recusal and Deputy’s swift appointment moves this distraction from politics to legal inquiry– where it belongs. This is good for the country.  Leaks may happen, but the White House and Congress can get back to legislating.
