look, the statistic that you keep echoing the people, eight month s worth of rain in three days, just think of the cascade effect as an event. we have the risk here in realtime in front of us right now. this is a mandatory evacuation zone. this is not evacuated. there are a lot of people here, they ve seen the number of category go down and they are giving it a false amount of significance is. it s no small irony that north myrtle beach, south carolina, their motto is while i breathe, i hope. the hope should be people are making their best choices in this situation, look how vulnerable it is. this sand used to be white jay is showing you right now. it s gray because it was recently added. they built this beach up five feet from what it normally is. look where the normal high tide comes to. this is normal high tide, we re just finishing low tide now. look at where the houses are,
people do take it seriously. the very fact that we re having this conversation is fascinating. we didn t have this conversation about the prosecutor in the cia leak case in the bush administration. we didn t have this conversation really during the starr investigation of president clinton, a somewhat different legal situation for ken starr. the point is most presidents recognize that firing a special prosecutor is a political risk in a big way. it echoes watergate, it echoes what president nixon did with archibald cox. rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who would have to be the one to do any firing, has already said he sees no grounds for firing whatsoever. in effect he s telling the white house, if you want to fire the special counsel, you ll have to fire me too, which is certainly possible. you have a cascade effect that could in fact cause even republicans on the hill to be quite concerned. they have said in the past that firing robert mueller is a red line for them. and wh
