A certain degree of partisanship is not surprising, but the divide between the parities seems to have become a chasm. Everything now seems to be judged not on its merits but simply by which party is attached to it. Science, for instance, should not be partisan. But somehow a lot of Republicans have decided that it’s treason to the party to try to understand basic physics or biology. But facts are not Democratic or Republican, they are just facts. And now the supporters of the president are tying to make the claim that the Mueller investigation is partisan. But the test will be evidence. Either Mueller will present evidence or he won’t. Evidence isn’t Democratic or Republican. It’s evidence. So far, Mueller has two guilty pleas. These are not partisan, they are guilty pleas. He’s got two indictments; these will stand or fall based on the evidence. If he brings further indictments, they will be based on the evidence he was been able to collect.
