Either Robert Mueller should resign, or we need two special counsels.

Glenn Reynolds at USA Today:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has a problem: He has a disqualifying conflict of interest regarding a large part of his work. It involves a choice between investigating or relying on former FBI director James Comey, a longtime close friend of Mueller’s.

Ideally, he’ll recognize that and resign. But if he doesn’t resign, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should appoint another special counsel to take over the obstruction-of-justice part of the investigation, where Mueller is disqualified.

Bold recommendation for bad situation.

As Glenn would say at Instapundit, read the rest of it.

Camille Paglia cuts through the warming concept

Refreshing, intelligent, informed:

It is certainly ironic how liberals who posture as defenders of science when it comes to global warming (a sentimental myth unsupported by evidence) flee all reference to biology when it comes to gender.

Well, to be a progressive (liberal? leftist? whatever) is to be an uber-romantic.

Jeff Sessions takes the gloves off

He looks so mild, but . . .

Attorney General Jeff Sessions came out swinging Tuesday, blasting his former colleagues in the U.S. Senate for their sham investigation into these loony accusations that somehow Mr. Sessions conspired with Russians to rig last year’s election.

Sham investigation, loony accusations.

Charles Hurt has it right.

Mark Brown of Sun-Times tells a good story but feels obliged to explain . . .

. . . supplying this closer to a very good column:

“Why did I bother to tell you so much about the early years of two criminals from long ago?

Because for all the advancements in education and corrections, we’re still handling troubled youth pretty much like we did when [the two criminals] were coming up — and getting the same results.

And for some folks, maybe that’s easier to see when the criminals in question are white.”

“Troubled” indeed. One of them helped hang a school principal out of a window, which troubled the principal no end, I’m sure.

Something else: The hard-copy head speaks of “reform school,” and “reformatory” is in the copy, both quite accurate, because so we spoke and speak.

But also politically correct when you get down to it, as is “corrections” for the department of jailing people, in most cases to protect other people from their antisocial behavior.

Not all, however. The reform school in question, Montefiore, had at least one distinguished alumnus who shaped up rather well, Chicago Daily News etc. columnist the late Mike Royko.
