another former fbi director. if you think back to the clinton days and ken starr, a special counsel, a special prosecutor can start as one thing and become quite another, and to be very, very difficult for a white house. t on the other hand, what is good news for this white house tonight is the fact thatat the president now perhaps can get back focused on taxes and health care and the other things he was elected to do while a highly regarded special counsel is now focused on the russia matter. to your question into your point, if this president has nothing to worry about, he will now have a highly respected investigator who will look at this and if there is nothing there at the end of it, the american people can have confidence that we can finally move on from this. if if robert mueller does find a crime or crimes, that's a whole other matter and it's going to get very difficult for this president because of the fact that he's known as someone with great integrity.
