Karl Rove in Journal op-ed: Trump ‘will pay a high price’ in Mar-a-Lago case

Former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove warned in a new op-ed that former President Trump’s federal indictment over his mishandling of classified documents will come at a steep cost to himself and the country.

“No matter the outcome, America will pay a high price for the former president’s reckless petulance. So will he,” Rove wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Rove, who served as a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to Bush, wrote that the country has been “plunged into an unprecedented crisis” after Trump was indicted on 37 felony counts last week. The former president pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges Tuesday as he maintains that the federal case against him is a “witch hunt” orchestrated by the weaponization of the government.

Go scratch jerkoff

So, President Trump running for President and fighting the good fight against the corruption Karl represents is good enough reason to persecute him beyond any other politician in our history. Screw Karl and all his friends.

[House Atreides]

What a fat toad! He even looks a little like one.

[Monterrosa-24]

And so, Rove has nothing to say about the political motive for the investigation and prosecution? He is a petty, bitter, and vindictive man.

This from the person who once said he was pro Reagan from the start until it was discovered that he campaigned for GHWB to be the Republican nominee in 1980 instead of Reagan.

Does he imply that Biden will be hung in the town square?

Has Rove said anything negative about DeSantis or any of the other slugs running for President yet?

Desantis’s mentor.

Cheesehead

Rove and the Hill were made for each other. Both communist.

[cowboyusa]

Hamhead is what I meant. 🤣

[wildcard_redneck]

Turd Blossom Rove is busy managing the DeSantis campaign and his stubby, gross fingers are all over the weaponization of the D.C. bureaucracy. President Trump has all of the right to skies and DeSantis has all of the wrong friends.

[blackdog]

Karl Rove, the most useless self described expert prognosticator in America.

Translation of Roves editorial...."The check from the Whitehouse cleared my bank"

This one is to the death. If Trump loses he is screwed and so are we. If they lose they are screwed. Ex FBI Director James Comey openly calls a potential Trump second term “the four years of retribution presidency”. He is clearly terrified at the prospect and so are many more in Washington - and for good reason.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I think is was El Rushbo who invented that meme!

[chajin]

I am quite happy to read this. Considering Mr. Rove’s track record, this almost certainly means Trump will come through this smelling like a rose, rather than a Rove.

[rdcbn1]

Listen to Karl Roves comments with a grain of salt. If Trump wins, like many in Washington, Rove is gonna take one on the chin. Assuming anyone can actually find his chin

[NWFree]

How many cheeseburgers did fathead get for that one?

[SoConPubbie]

Has Rove said anything negative about DeSantis or any of the other slugs running for President yet?

I believe that is what is commonly referred to as a "rhetorical" question because we all know he has not and DeSantis is part of their team anyway, so he is not going to say anything negative.
