Reading The Washington Post’s extraordinary article comparing the lives of Special Ccounsel Robert Mueller and President Donald Trump made me realize that the war between the two men is not just a struggle over the fate of this presidency.
Mueller was born to wealth and attended elite institutions — St. Paul’s School, Princeton University, the University of Virginia School of Law — but felt compelled to serve his country. During the Vietnam War, when most of his classmates were avoiding the draft, he volunteered for the Marine Corps and earned numerous decorations leading a rifle platoon in fierce combat.
