As Robert Mueller’s indictments and investigation gets closer to President Trump’s inner circle, the latest lie is that Mr. Mueller is unethical and biased.

The GOP alt-right’s calls for Mr. Mueller’s resignation are laughable. Trump has become the little boy who cried “Wolf!” He’s the little boy who cried “Wolf!” so many times when there was no wolf, the villagers don’t believe him one iota. The American village doesn’t believe Trump, and, rightfully so. We do, however, believe in Mr. Mueller’s integrity.
