Letter: Decrying Mueller’s ‘witch hunt’

By Don Plasterer, Vancouver

I found it rather amusing when all the Democrats were crying “No one is above the law” after the Mueller hearings, when the whole Mueller investigation was, in fact, “above the law.” According to former Attorney Generals Ed Meese and Michael Mukasey, whom I saw on TV last week, and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz (who did not vote for Trump), and according to DOJ guidelines, a special counsel may be appointed when and only when there is clear evidence of a crime, which, of course there was not. So it truly was a “witch hunt”! Also speaking about being above the law, how about the whole idea of sanctuary cities; and then there was the Democrat darling who crashed and burned during the last presidential election. The things she did were so far above the law she needed to be on oxygen!
