Opinion | Steve Vladeck: Mueller report and Trump-Russia investigation must push Congress to protect future special counsels. - NBCNewsTHINK

And it almost certainly won’t be the most significant reaction thereto. But as Georges Santayana famously wrote, those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. Strengthening a future special counsel before we know who he is or what he’s investigating would be an unusually forward-looking measure on Congress’s part.
