These are comments from democrats and republicans. This is a monumental night in our country. General mattis, one of the highest ranking members of the Trump Administration and one of the most important military leaders in the world had the courage to take a stand and tell the world how he felt about the president and his administration.

Remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interest or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances. He goes on to write, i believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose Strategic Interests are increasin

Is the president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani who let some truth seep out in an interview with the atlantic. Bemoaning the president s slow pace of responding to questions and answers and suggesting that trump is less in control than his other clients. He told reporter, answering those questions was a nightmare. It took him about three weeks to do what would normally takegeni thought. From that same report, giuliani initially pushed back on the prediction that trump would take center stage after the report drops. I dont think following his lead is the right thing. Hes the client, he said. The more controlled a person is, the more intelligent they are. The more they can make the decision. But hes just like every other client. Hes not more, you know, controlled than any other client. In fact, hes a little less.

Is this one other way of decapitating the Justice Department . And then congress also, schumer just said in but theres been legislation that you got to protect the Mueller Investigation. You could get that passed in the house in five seconds now. Does rosenstein stay, number one . If he resigns and whitaker overseas that investigation, one possibility is that he fires mueller, tries to end it. The president said something very different today. Whitaker could curtail and limit the scope on the investigation. Lets not forget, Jeff Sessions among republicans in the senate was very well liked. Hes a form are u. S.
