Here’s the thing about Sarah Huckabee Sanders running for Governor of Arkansas

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is now running for Governor of Arkansas in 2022, according to multiple major news outlets. No, you read that right. She’s not the only prominent Republican running in the race, and we don’t think her odds of making it out of the primary are great. But here’s the thing.

We all watched Sarah Huckabee Sanders commit felony obstruction of justice from the White House briefing room podium. Robert Mueller could have stopped this if he’d done his job by charging her for it. Instead he served up some ridiculous excuse for not charging any of Trump’s people with obstruction.

Mueller’s unwillingness to take action, when he still had a chance, will continue to haunt us for years to come. Sure, Trump might have pardoned Huckabee Sanders to keep her out of prison, but that would have pretty much derailed her political ambitions. Now, because Mueller didn’t do his job, we’ll have to sit through the ridiculousness of Huckabee Sanders running for Governor, and the outside chance she’ll win.
