What the President said \u2026 of course, is petty, shameful, despicable and undignified. Sadly, that is the president we have, but fortunately, in American history, we\u2019ve had people like Bob Mueller, and hopefully our better angels like Bob can get us beyond the fascism that we\u2019re experiencing at this moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than focusing on the despicable response of a demented president, we should really focus on the hero that we lost today, and ideally gain some inspiration and some strength that we can bring out on No Kings Day when we stand up again for our country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u00a0Ty Cobb<\/a>, former Hogan & Lovells partner turned\u00a0White House<\/a>\u00a0special counsel (in the Trump I regime), in comments given during an appearance on MS Now<\/a>, concerning President Donald Trump\u2019s words in response to the death of special counsel Robert Mueller<\/a>, who oversaw the investigation into Russian interference in 2016\u2019s presidential election. Trump said of Mueller\u2019s passing, \u201cGood, I\u2019m glad he\u2019s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!\u201d Cobb went on to say, \u201c[T]hat\u2019s the type of person that President Trump is. He\u2019s a demented narcissist, [he] seriously hates anybody who stands in opposition to him.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
