Were used to seeing from the president. Perhaps this statement was lawyered, it was in response to a request that my colleague Ashley Parker and i made to sarah sanders, first to interview the president. He wasnt available for an interview, but she offered to get a statement from him which he provided. Look, its important because he seems to be creating some wiggle room for his son. We know from our reporting that theres anxiety in the president s inner circle including by the president himself who has fretted to associates and friends that hes worried about don jr. , worried that there could be some legal jeopardy, legal exposure there, and theres a feeling in the orbit that something could potentially happen in the next few weeks. We dont know what that might be. But this maybe the president trying to protect himself, distance himself from anything that may be afoot with his son. All right. So theres the issue of the Trump Tower Meeting which we know mueller has a good deal of inform
Throughout history, storytelling has been an integral part of human communication. From ancient civilizations to modern boardrooms, stories have captured our imaginations, connected us, and taught us valuable lessons. For leaders, storytelling is an essential skill that can be harnessed to inspire, educate, and motivate others.We will explore three types of storytelling that are particularly useful for leaders: pocket stories, which are short and used to make connections and integrate advice; origin stories, which illustrate frustration that leads to change and unifies people around a goal; and paradigm-shifting stories, which are designed to create new mindsets and shared language.Pocket stories are brief narratives that pack a punch.

got so many shifting stories. he tried this and that. saying nato didn t provide enough aid or it s all hearsay. i think everything that the whistle-blower said has now been corroborated. the idea is that the president withheld congressionally appropriated taxpayer paid for aid in order to advance the private, personal agenda. and now many are using the word bribery now. the framers do use that word. what does it mean in this context in. bribery wasn t even a crime in 1787 but it was one of those impeachable offenses. it s the same idea of self-dealing, putting your interests above the american people. when you have a president who says, hey, i ll let you have this $400 million in aid but i need a favor, though, first. and that favor is a personal favor. that s the problem. because if a president can use his awesome powers as commander in chief under the constitution to do these kinds of things,
