The real carnage is the people closest to donald trump. The lives that are being destroyed for crimes theyve committed. I mean, you know, its not a night to feel sympathy for Michael Cohen, but the events that are sending him to jail potentially are events put in motion by the things donald trump demanded of the people close to him.

Of i think begin to dismantle this rock solid support of the president that undergirds him through all of this behavior that is mind-blowing to people from the outside or people that have worked in republican politics before. the valerie plame investigation where george w. bush was never a subject, there was never a question of whether bush or cheney had obstructed justice, it took a heavy toll on the bush white house. donald trump is the subject, possibly even the target of these investigations, and he s been held up by this ridiculous fear grip that republicans feel from him. but i think we ll look back and today may be the day that people start to wonder if he isn t in more trouble than we understand. mike schmidt, our friend chuck rosenberg will tell you that mueller prefers meetings standing up in his office because it keeps your energy up and it s more efficient. mueller unironically asks co-workers and associates every day what they have done for their country at work, somet ....
