Conservative David Frum:If Trump fires Mueller he should write Im super guilty in the sky over WH

[womanofthehills]

Appearing in a panel discussion with MSNBC host Laurence O’Donnell, conservative David Frum said President Donad Trump’s threat to fire special counsel Robert Mueller would be a tacit admission that he is guilty.

With Trump ally Newt Gingrich calling for the firing of Mueller, Frum said Gingrich might enjoy that type of “apocalyptic” governance but it would be devastating to the White House.

“The independent counsel law was allowed to lapse last century because there were doubts of constitutionality,” Frum explained. “The special counsel is now under the president because people argued that the president could be trusted to investigate himself. If that turns out not to be true, then you are into political remedies of the most dire kind.”

“Maybe Newt Gingrich would welcome that because it’s kind of an apocalyptic scenario and he enjoys those,” Frum continued. “I don’t want to sound like I have the limited imagination you condemn, but if Trump fires Robert Mueller he might as well hire a sky writer to trace in smoke over the White House, ‘I am super guilty.'”

2. Followed by...

[Docreed2003]

5. And the GOP congregation said in unison...

"Not a damn thing, Heir Twitler!"

[Hekate]

7. Amen, Mr Frum. Thanks for this, womanofthehills...

I particularly like his observation about ol' Newt: that it's an apocalyptic scenario and Gingrich likes those.

8. Actually, the statute was allowed to lapse because Ken Starr blatantly abused it. (eom)

9. What's Russian for "super guilty"?

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Damn, Frum and I are tuned into the same quantum frequency, 'cuz I was just about to post the same

damn thing about such a move being equivalent to skywriting "I'm guilty" in letters 500 feet tall.

14. Frum is correct. Nixon basically fired the Special Prosecutor...

And we all know that did not end well. This won't either it may just take a bit more time for justice to work through because of the Republicans having a majority ATM.

The story of Nixon and Watergate should be used as a warning, not a guidebook but it sure seems like I've seen this crap play out before.

15. I've been following Frum

on Twitter, and he is consistently anti-Trump. Like.... he abhors the guy. It's a pleasure to see. Would love more conservatives to jump on the anti-Trump train. David Frum obviously respects our government and hates what the Trump admin is doing to it.

16. What Is It?

We see republicans like Frum, Rick Wilson, Bruce Bartlett and others who have stayed anti Chitolini from the start....then we see those who will not waver and you get the feeling that would be the case if his orangeness did shoot someone on tape on 5th Avenue.
