Shouldn’t Newt be off pretending to be Catholic in Rome?

“Pundit” rearranges to “nutdip.”

Just sayin’.

The fact that these jackasses are braying about not needing a special counsel tells you all you need to know about why we need to have a special counsel.

Trump listens to these people. No one should be surprised when he fires Mueller, consequences be damned.

We saw this coming (they signaled it). Taken together with Sekulow’s comment, it may well be they are trying to set up a stage for firing Mueller.

Nice to know that Trump has the support of a fellow sociopath.

Trump plays whack-a-mole with competent people.

Poor, poor, Newt, his judgment, maturity, undisciplined waist line, and penchant for being a blabber mouth are worse than Trump’s. Poor, poor, Newt.

He still hasn’t learned to ask someone what he should think before tweeting.

Trump would do anything to save his own skin.
Gingrich would do anything to keep the gravy-train rolling.
One thing that will make it difficult to fire Mueller is Mueller’s silence
as he conducts investigation. Under the radar as he builds a case.

That would be the most Trumpian move.

TPM needs a “like” button; a heart-click doesn’t do this comment justice. I saw a little bit of this idiot on one of the Sunday shows yesterday; he’s truly a despicable liar. But then again, I’m pretty sure it was Fox and he was sitting down with Karl “Ham” Rove…who knows a lot about leakers.

Can someone familiar with the law explain to me how there is not a provision that prevents the POTUS from firing people investigating him?

“I think Congress should now intervene and they should abolish the independent counsel, because Comey makes so clear that it’s the poison fruit of a deliberate manipulation by the FBI director leaking to the New York Times, deliberately set up this particular situation,” Gingrich said. “It’s very sick.”

Funny. That’s EXACTLY what I think about every single Trump appointee/nominee. They are all fruit of the poisonous tree. Get rid of all of them. Gorsuch, the entire cabinet, every last one of them. At least until Mueller opines that Trump isn’t a fucking manchurian candidate.

I’ll happily have the discussion with Newt regarding Poisoned Fruit…

By Newt’s logic Trump’s presidency is entirely that. Poisoned Fruit…

I mean Russian interference in the election is clearly another way FSB is good at poisoning.
