Ken Starr Warns Against Firing Mueller

[DonViejo]

Former independent counsel Kenneth Starr writes in the Washington Post:

"Subject to the possibility of being fired for ‘good cause,’ Mueller should be allowed to do his work unhindered and unimpeded. Absent the most extreme circumstances, the president would be singularly ill-advised to threaten, much less order, Mueller’s firing. Under legally binding regulations, the special counsel’s fate rests exclusively with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. He alone is empowered to make that fateful decision. As a matter of honor, and in light of his sworn testimony before Congress, Rosenstein would inevitably resign if confronted with a White House directive to dismiss the special counsel. Wisdom counsels strongly against unleashing a 21st-century version of the Saturday Night Massacre of Watergate-era infamy."

1. Good, when will "W" and Cheney and others say something?

Will they wait until we are on the precipice of civil war?

hope not

As twisted as the deplorables are, who will NOT care what people like W or Cheney say, many on the right will.

It will make a difference.

2. That's the BIG problem that I have with hypocrite Newt.

Of course Starr is an evil bastard as well so FUCK anything and everything he says. Newt is just as bad and has been boisterously talking shit to promote his new book with BFF "it"/ the fake prez in the past few days.

5. Why Bork? What does he represent?

This damn tablet won't allow me to write Bork without backspacing a zillion times to correct it since it is similar to my last name. AARRGGHH!
