An unwieldy investigation

Re “Senators worry about Mueller’s fate,” April 12

Perhaps you could include insights by esteemed constitutional and liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor. He has stated that the Justice Department has run amok and violated the law.

This inquiry by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III started after former FBI Director James Comey was fired and subsequently leaked via a surrogate unverifiable documents he had written. It has become so large that it has now spun off another investigation into the payment of a pornographic actress.

There is no need to worry about Mueller. His reputation will be untarnished and he will always be regarded as someone who fought honorably for his country.

Trump, however, will be remembered as a liar and a bully. It doesn’t take too much thought to determine which of the two will fare better when the history of this truly awful time in our country is written. Marilyn K. Brown

Re “Trump lawyer’s fierce loyalty put to the test,” April 11

I had to laugh reading what Michael Cohen was overheard saying: “People don’t even know the name of Barack Obama’s personal attorney, but everybody knows my name.”

Why would anyone know the name of President Obama’s personal lawyer?

He never entered into questionable deals, nor was there any suspicion he obstructed justice, colluded with Russia to win an election or was a serial adulterer and liar. Obama never needed the services of a stable of lawyers to “fix” things. Penelope Burley
