I think the president at this point, he's realizing what the American people are realizing, is that this investigation is leading to nowhere, and it probably should be wrapped up very soon.
His tone at 4:00 a.m. Wednesday morning was magnificent. And I was in the room and I can tell you, it was an inspirational American moment.
The left has kept saying all along, why didn't the president just call, pick up the phone and ask the FBI or the Justice Department if he was being wiretapped.
