Dan Henninger: If Mueller Keeps Dragging On, Bill Barr Should Call Him and Demand He Explain What He Has

RUSH EXCERPT:

HENNINGER: “I suppose it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to extend for six months but obviously going to go forward now. A couple things here, Neil. This is the problem with special prosecutors. We used to have an independent counsel law back in the Reagan years. Congress ended the independent counsel law because these investigations tend to go on forever. Years and years. The independent counsel or special prosecutor, there’s a question of accountability. I would say here, Neil, if this thing starts dragging on, that once the new attorney general, hopefully, is confirmed, William Barr, I think attorney general Barr, deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein probably should call in Robert Mueller and ask him to explain exactly what he has and what is going on rather than let this thing simply extend into the future hanging over the American system as it has the past 18 months.”
