Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney reportedly faced termination before House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Keep your “friends” close and your potential enemies closer.
" two factors that spared Mulvaney: 1) Trump’s reluctance to have four chief of staffs cycle through his administration and 2) Mulvaney knowing too much about Trump’s efforts to get foreign governments to dig up dirt on Joe Biden–the very foundation of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry."

Mulva’s too dangerous to be off leash.

I think that kind of thing does bother him, because it gives him bad press, making him look weaker than he wants to look. Then the wind blows in a different direction and he does it anyway. I doubt that Mulvaney can breathe too easily even now. Look at how he panicked on Friday.
Mulvaney knowing too much about Trump…period.
“Trump’s efforts to get foreign governments to
dig upmanufacture dirt on Joe Biden…”
Could TPM please stop parroting GOP narrative?

Mulvaney is turning out to be the only dimwit to outdo Giuliani in saying the bad things they’ve done and not knowing how it sounds.
Last week all the news was about how the WH was not sending anyone out to protect Trump. This weekend we’ve seen a lot of Mulvaney. I’m not at all sure it is helping.
So let me see if I have this straight:
Trump went all out to extort Ukraine on Biden and Russia’s 2016 electoral interference…and winds up basically getting extorted by his acting Chief of Staff?
Wow! He’s even an incompetent criminal. This is off the hook.
Mulvaney won’t be tossed until there’s a moment the news cycles needs to be moved on. Never waste a good firing.
Or he knows exactly what he was doing, and it’s setting the groundwork to soften the next blow.
That whole implication that this was “business as usual” certainly could be alluding to more shoes to drop about different shakedowns of other countries.
They’ve been pretty successful at taking the wind out of things that should be shocking, but that they had laid the groundwork for it to be “old news” by the time the scandals hit.
Why should that bother him? He’s on his 5th attorney general.
I feel like Mulvaney should be sending Nancy a bouquet or something.
No wonder she was hesitant on impeachment -she ended up saving his sorry ass.

Seriously. This and describing elections fraud as “voter fraud”.
This Trump cast of characters already outstrips the Nixon goon squad interms of outright stupidity and cojones.
Your OneWordAnswer™: No.
Josh cheered on Trump in 2016, and he’ll do so again in 2020 if Trump’s still around.
Just check the subscriber numbers over the period.
TPM would be in a much weaker position if we had a boring Clinton in charge touting different economic bills.
