Something like this has never happened before. No American president has ever written about a dead man like this \u2014 not publicly, not in this office, not in this country. Robert Mueller died Friday evening. He was 81 years old, had Parkinson\u2019s, had told his family that he was ill, and passed quietly \u2014 the way he did almost everything: without much attention. Donald Trump did not wait an hour. On Truth Social, the President of the United States wrote: \u201cRobert Mueller just died. Good, I am glad he is dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

You read the sentence. You read it again. And then you sit there and ask yourself what kind of country elects a man like this as president \u2014 and what kind of man writes this about someone who has just died while that person\u2019s family is asking for privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Mueller was a public servant of the old school \u2014 Princeton, Marines, Vietnam, Bronze Star, a gunshot wound to the thigh, back with his unit three weeks later. He led the FBI for twelve years, longer than anyone after J. Edgar Hoover. He took over the office one week before September 11, 2001 and transformed a law enforcement agency into a national security agency. He worked under George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama \u2014 confirmed by the Senate, bipartisan, without scandal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came the Russia investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mueller\u2019s team worked for almost two years. The report, published in 2019, found significant contacts between Trump\u2019s campaign team and Russian actors. Mueller did not establish a criminal conspiracy. He was not willing to exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice. He wrote that he was \u201cnot in a position to make that judgment.\u201d Six people from Trump\u2019s circle were charged, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump hated Mueller for it. Publicly, loudly, for years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, while Mueller\u2019s wife Ann \u2014 married to him since 1966 \u2014 and his two daughters are grieving, Trump writes that he is glad he is dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote that Mueller dedicated his life to service and deeply believed in the rule of law. That is one America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other America now has its president.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mueller himself said in one of his rare public appearances in 2020 that it does not matter how one serves. \u201cThe only thing we ask is that you work for your country, for your community.\u201d He wrote a book. He became ill. He died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Trump typed: Good, I am glad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are moments when a sentence says everything \u2014 about the man who writes it, about the office he holds, and about the time we live in. This sentence is such a moment. No investigation, no court, no column explains Trump better than these nine words about an 81 year old man who had just died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
