and all of, this is his own conduct. he is his own worst enemy. none of this would have happened to, him if he had just returned the documents. it appears to me last night, as a former prosecutor, he admitted obstruction of justice on the air last night, to bret baier. i can tell you this, his lawyers this morning are jumping out of whatever window they are near. yeah, that is the thing, you can see it s a witch hunt when you admit to doing it. well, when you admit to doing, it and also, you know, this is the thing we are looking at, erick erickson, add more, see anti-mccarthy, the national review you have a group of conservative commentators who have either been pro trump, or anti trump during donald trump s reign. and, these, in this conservative media, this
