But some of trumps closest allies are increasingly frustrated with what they see as a chaotic white house defense, saying President Trump should take a page from bill clintons impeachment playbook. What he did is he had a team that was organized. President clinton defended himself, but he never stopped being president. And as he governed during goveri impeachment, that was the single best thing he did.
