John Dean warns Trump White House theyll be playing with fire if they follow Bannon advice to attack Mueller
<snip>
Falling back on his Nixon years, Dean equated Bannons comments to the notorious Saturday Night Massacre that saw Nixon firing Watergate investigator Archibald Cox which only hastened Nixons demise.
Thats a modified form of firing Archibald Cox, cutting off funding to the special counsel, Dean lectured. Im not sure it lends towards obstruction of justice and Bannon saying lets all conspire toward justice. But theyre playing with fire here and I think people who sign on to this have to be very careful.

Welcome to DU, Al-Anon! It's great to have you with us!

(9 posts)Ya, I rediscovered this site the other day. I had to join, it looks like such fun. Things are heating up. The 'fake news' thing is no longer viable after this guilty plea, so the republicans are going to go into full scorched earth mode.

(205,177 posts)That's one thing about DU, people here are completely up to speed on the latest news. I really think this is the best place on the web to keep up with whatever's going on in this country - and the world. And there are numerous groups, depending on your interests. Are you a member of Al-Anon? We have an Addiction & Recovery Group here, too. And depending on where you're from, all of the states and numerous countries are represented. We're also an international community. I'm so glad you found us, I've been here since 2003 and have learned more on DU than anywhere else...
