The recent guilty plea of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former attorney, to charges he lied to Congress about the president's involvement and knowledge of a proposed project to build a tower in Moscow, demonstrates the importance of the Mueller investigation.
Cohen admitted he lied to be consistent with the "political messaging" of the president. This new revelation is just the most recent reason the Mueller investigation must continue and its results made public.
Despite attempts by right-wing media and the White House itself to paint the investigation as a "witch hunt," there have been 187 criminal charges filed, to which dozens have received guilty pleas.
Defendants very close to the president, such as George Papadopoulos, a former campaign advisor, Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor, and Paul Manafort, former campaign chair, have all entered guilty pleas.
With the firing of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General the day after the mid-term election, and his replacement with Matthew Whitaker, a Trump loyalist, the president may be positioning himself to stymie or perhaps completely halt the Mueller investigation.
The American people have a right to know the truth about the extent the president knew about, coordinated, or perhaps colluded with the Russian government's meddling in our election.
As Jim Garrison, the prosecutor who investigated the Kennedy assassination said, "let justice be done, though the heavens fall."
