Charlie Dent: If Trump Fires Mueller It ‘Would Be the Equivalent of a Saturday Night Massacre’

EXCERPT:

DENT: "Well, Trey Gowdy gave some really good advice. I was frankly stunned by Mr. Dowd’s comments over the weekend that he would say that the special prosecutor should back off or end this investigation. He said he put that out as a private citizen. He’s really not just some private citizen, he’s the President’s lawyer, for heaven’s sake. I’m a public official, I just can't go out there on your show and say, 'I’m just talking as a private citizen today.' It is hard to separate myself from my official duties and my private statements. I’m just shocked that Mr. Dowd would have said something like that. So, again, let the Special Counsel do his job, and if he’s really — I’ll tell you that would be the equivalent of a Saturday Night Massacre just like when Archibald Cox was fired during the Nixon days. It would be a political earthquake."
