A year is enough?by digby
Remember this?
That was Nixon’s first State of the Union address after he fired Archibald Cox.
Mark Warner gave a speech on the floor of the Senate today. He’s not the hysterical type:
“Any attempt by this president to remove special counsel Mueller from his position or to pardon key witnesses…would be a gross abuse of power and a flagrant violation of executive branch responsibilities and authorities. These truly are red lines.”
“I’m extraordinarily concerned because there does appear to be effort to undermine not only investigation, but law enforcement and FBI in general-there we get into uncharted territory where never seen this from either political party in past where you undermine validity of FBI.”
He’s right, there is. They’ve even got people on Fox saying that the FBI conspired to assassinate Trump.
Warner saying this means something. There must be a reason he felt the need to make this speech right now.
It’s the Holiday Season and if you feel like putting a little something in the Hullabaloo Christmas stocking this year it would be much appreciated.
Happy Hollandaise everyone!
