Yes, This Is Going to Be Worse Than Watergate

In 1973, there were still some independent-minded lawmakers in the Grand Old Party. Today, not so much.

Something changed last weekend, did it not?

The firing of Andrew McCabe. The statement by Trump lawyer John Dowd to The Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff that Robert Mueller should end his probe soon. Donald Trump’s tweetstorm just after that, his first tweets mentioning Mueller by name along with promises by aides that more attacks are on the way. The amped-up speculation that Trump will fire Jeff Sessions and replace him with someone who hasn’t recused himself so that someone can fire Mueller.

Somewhere in there also came an official reassurance by Trump lawyer Ty Cobb that the president has no plans to fire Mueller. Right. That’s about as reassuring as the NCAA promising that all that cheating is a thing of the past.

The temperature’s rising. The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reports that this president feels he really knows how to do this job now, and from here on in we’re going to see Trump unchained. So the Trump we’ve been seeing has been chained? God help us.

Where are we headed? If Trump fires Sessions and brings in whomever, and that person does fire Mueller, we will be in the midst of a major constitutional crisis. The standard line is “the worst since Watergate.” But this one is looking like it could be far worse than Watergate. Why?

When all else fails start throwing out "watergate". Pathetic.

Has anyone ever explained why firing Mueller would cause a constitutional crisis?

Oh that is the leftist meme now. THink I saw it on USA today.

All I got to say is that President Trump has pretty much ****ed the liberals in the MSM  cause they keep underestimating him.

I think this time is no different.

Pinching off a dry one is worse than Watergate, not being able to pinch off a wet one is much worse...lust like what comes out of your mouth.

I think it will be worse than Watergate, but not in the way liberals imagine.

Exactly.  You can read the trepidation they have, in how strident their attacks have become.
