who wasn t capable, they have to spin an entire news cycle talking about that. trying to make a case for their administration. at nearly a year after getting into the white house when they would probably rather talk about things like this, a new jobs report or other policy related issues. the problem is the white house has created these challenges for themselves. as anyone was reporting for the washington post can testimony to, much of what we testified to, it is what many have already said and known. while the topic of trump s behavior and what his staff thinks of it is the focus, and at axios they re reporting more than half a dozen of the more skilled white house staff are contemplating immeant departure. do you think we ll see more people leaving the white house? and we already are. by the day. more departures than any other
but i think it is consistent with how they have run the investigation completely. and now it seems as though there are some secret meetings going on and questions as to whether or not they re even able to do that. since they need to be in a skiff, you know, the room where you can reclassify documents and the information. so i think it is very unfortunate and i think it is unprecedented. because usually, these times of investigations of this magnitude, it should be conducted in a bipartisan fashion. do you believe at this point either on the house or the senate side that republicans will focus efforts on the actual question of interference? i actually don t. i think they are showing us that they won t. i think that they re doing this in complete response to trump s instability. which now, of course, we re learning a lot more about. i m sure he is really pushing them to do this. apparently now he has a little group, a cadre of people who are willing to act inappropriate as
making america great again. thank you. donald trump there today. the book is flying off shelves after the publisher pulled the trigger, releasing it four days early after trump s cease and desist her. trump tweeting the book is full of lies. and the author is not backing down. everyone around the advisers, family members, everyone of them, questions his intelligence and fitness for office. let me put a marker in the sand here. 100% of the people around him. the one description that everyone game. everyone has in common. they all say he is like a child. they say he is a moron, an idiot. he does not read, does not
