To the Editor:

Re “Mueller to Testify to Congress, Setting Up a Political Spectacle” (front page, June 26):

Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation, bent over backward to be fair and objective, but because of an overabundance of caution, he fell short of his responsibility. Testifying before Congress will afford him the opportunity to correct that shortcoming.

He needs to answer two fundamental questions that will doubtless be asked: Did Donald Trump obstruct or try to obstruct justice? And if so would he, Mr. Mueller, have sought to indict him except for the Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president?

If he answers in the affirmative, it will probably put an end to the “should Trump be impeached?” agony and allow that process to move forward.

Mr. Mueller has strongly implied that impeachment is the appropriate vehicle to determine Mr. Trump’s guilt or innocence. It is time for him to say so.
