Michael Moore has finally weighed in (because that’s just been what you’ve been waiting for, right?) on the news that Robert Mueller has been appointed as special counsel and will investigate the Trump administration and campaign for alleged ties to Russia.
In summary, don’t get your party hats out just yet:
The same well-meaning souls who were throwing an early victory party for Hillary are now celebrating Trump's removal. Caution.

The investigation'll require work, many witnesses, possible grand jury, due process 4 Trump & public hearings. This aint happening next week

And then there's the psychosuperhero called Trump.He wins every battle even when he loses.NOTHING touches him. Suddenly that's gonna change?

Probably not.
Moore also expressed his anger at the media for calling Mueller as “special counsel” — which is the correct term — and not a “special prosecutor”:
Note to Media: The term is Special PROSECUTOR not Special "Counsel." No one is being "counseled" here. Mueller is not offering his "counsel"
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) May 18, 2017
Special PROSECUTOR Mueller is investigating high crimes and treason. He has full prosecutorial powers. He is not "counseling" anyone. Stop.

Oh, it will be glorious to see the meltdown when any prosecutions or charges don’t touch Trump himself.
