My ears are about to burst into flames. Or … maybe my head is about to explode, blowing my noggin into smithereens.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s legal team — led by the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow — keep yapping that special counsel Robert Mueller needs to call his examination of “The Russia Thing” to a halt. He needs to end it now, they say.<\/p>\n

Giuliani suggests Mueller has done something potentially illegal. He ain’t spilling the beans, as if he has any beans to spill.<\/em><\/p>\n

Look, Mueller is a former FBI director who served under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama. He took office right after 9\/11. He is a pro. He is a dedicated public servant. He is a decorated Marine who saw combat during the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

He also is a meticulous lawyer who has been tasked by the Department of Justice to find out whether the Trump presidential campaign colluded<\/em> with Russians who attacked our electoral system.<\/p>\n

Mueller’s appointment by DOJ also was hailed universally by Republicans and Democrats. Don’t you remember that? I damn sure do. He deserved the high praise he got from both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n

What’s changed? Only this, as far as I can tell: Mueller is tightening the rope around the White House and well might have discovered something hinky within the Trump campaign, even though the president keeps declaring there was “no collusion.”<\/p>\n

I don’t want to take Donald Trump’s<\/em> word for it. The president’s penchant for prevarication precludes anyone from taking anything<\/em> he says seriously.<\/p>\n

I prefer to hear the final verdict from Robert Mueller.<\/p>\n

That is, if my ears don’t catch fire and my skull doesn’t explode listening to the rants from Donald Trump’s loudmouth legal eagles.<\/p>\n\n
