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.
Much of what led us to Trump as president can be laid at the feet of Karl Rove.
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.

Rove said that this indictment is much more serious than Trump’s indictment in connection to falsifying business records in the Manhattan court, where he also pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records earlier this year.[T]his indictment is devastating in its rigor of evidence and the seriousness of the alleged crimes,” Rove wrote. “Even so, the case will further tear our country apart, as it has a heavy impact on the presidential campaign and—wrongly—undermines confidence in our justice system.”
“The blame for this calamity rests solely on Mr. Trump and his childish impulse to keep mementos from his time in the Oval Office, no matter what the law says,” he added.
And on the Republican approach to politics in this country, which took a sharp turn toward corruption and lying under Reagan and Bush, and "Bush's Brain", Karl Rove himself.
Rove also wrote that when Trump’s trial is over, the county will face a “period of anger, division and recrimination” as some Republicans call for law enforcement agencies, like the FBI, to be eliminated.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
