I finally received a reply from Sen Cruz regarding my contact with him stating that Mueller was not legally qualified to serve as a special prosecutor.

I was disgusted by the lack of reply - and have not recontacted him to express that disgust. I will do so - when I can do it in a hard hitting and respectful reply.

Since I posted my original Contact on PopeIV - it is documented that I made no mention about the Russian investigation, nor about supporting the investigation, nor that I had ANY interest in seeing the investigation continue.

Here are the contents of the reply from Sen. Cruz:
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear David,

Thank you for contacting me regarding investigations of Russian interference in American elections. Input from fellow Texans significantly informs my decision-making and empowers me to better represent the state.

As you may know, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has confirmed an ongoing investigation into the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Additionally, Russian meddling in American elections has been under investigation by committees in both houses of Congress. I have faith in these institutions and believe we should let those investigations run their course. Please be assured that I will keep your concerns in mind as Congress continues to consider this important issue.

Thank you again for sharing your views with me. Please feel free to contact me in the future about any issue important to you or your family. It is an honor to serve you and the people of Texas.

For Liberty,

Senator Ted Cruz

Andrew McCarthy devotes his weekly NRO column to the unlimited mandate and uninhibited prosecutorial tactics of Robert Mueller. The column is "Mueller scorches the earth." Reviewing the proceedings to date, Andy writes:

You are forgiven if you can recall only vaguely that supposition about Trump-campaign collusion in Russian espionage against the 2016 election was the actual explanation for Mueller's appointment as special counsel. To the extent there was any explanation, that is. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a Trump appointee, did not comply with the regulations requiring a description of the crimes Trump's Justice Department is too conflicted to investigate, purportedly necessitating a quasi-independent special counsel.

The way it's supposed to work, the Justice Department learns of a crime, so it assigns a prosecutor. To the contrary, this Justice Department assigned a prosecutor - make that: Seventeen hyper-aggressive prosecutors - and unleashed them to hunt for whatever crime they could find.

If you sense that this cuts against the presumption of innocence, you're onto something ...

McCarthy seems to be approximately the only observer troubled by the improprieties on which the Mueller investigation is predicated and the tactics with which it has been conducted. It's not entirely clear to me why.
