Mueller testimony: An exercise in feel-good doublethink

Former special counsel Robert Mueller testified that no one is above the law. In his testimony before a congressional committee, he also said the Department of Justice found that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime.

Someone who can’t be charged with a crime is above the law. Presidents under our political system are above the law. Mueller’s feel-good doublethink doesn’t change this fact.
