Who Will Police the Police?

This week, Judicial Watch released an email from Andrew Weissmann, a senior Justice prosecutor working with Mueller, in which he praised former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, writes Kimberely Strassel in the WSJ. Mr. Weissmann was praising AG Yates for “staging a mutiny against the Trump travel ban.”

Of 15 publicly identified Mueller lawyers, nine are Democratic donors—including several who gave money to Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Jeannie Rhee defended the Clinton Foundation against racketeering charges, and represented Mrs. Clinton personally in the question of her emails. Aaron Zebley represented Justin Cooper, the Clinton aide who helped manage her server. Mr. Goldstein worked for Preet Bharara, whom Mr. Trump fired and who is now a vigorous Trump critic. The question isn’t whether these people are legally allowed (under the Hatch Act) to investigate Mr. Trump—as the left keeps insisting. The question is whether a team of declared Democrats is capable of impartially investigating a Republican president.
