"Sites like Vox, the Daily Beast, and the Weekly Standard have long praised the dossiers of Robert Mueller’s legal investigative team.
The essays prove mostly the same.
They often employ the same superlative nomenclature: “all-stars,” “dream-team,” “army,” and “professionals.”...
Yet the Mueller legal team’s dossiers also turn out predictably similar. We are supposed to be awed by past employment in a blue-chip Washington or New York law firm—all the better if the same as Robert Mueller’s own.

Power couple bumper stickers (He is married to this judge, or she is wedded to that federal attorney) offer added insurance of excellence...
