Trump has put himself in a vulnerable position by raising the stakes so high for himself and standing at rallies being showered with Nobel chance and so on.

I think it's a fair criticism that past presidents have not been able to solve this problem.
I think what the government is arguing and would know better than I is that he really is bet hardly a lawyer at all, that much of what he does has nothing to do with law in the traditional sense.
That's a very bad day. And so clearly, he has got something to worry about.
This is obviously a fraught time in which our whole justice system is on tinder hooks here because of the campaign that's being waged against it by the President and his allies.
If impeachment becomes a partisan tool and not an assiduous process, then you are damaging democracy.
I think the whole thing is bizarre. I don't think ethics meant much in this administration starting with the President himself.
One of the appeals Pruitt may have been until the last few days that Pruitt has a constituency in the Senate.
My concern about Donald Trump is less his policy, even though I disagree with many of his policies. It's his utter disregard for democratic institutions.
I don't think he can confirm anybody to replace Sessions if he fires him right now.
There's so many reasons why it raises eyebrows, not the least of which that he was apparently advised not to do it.
When time and time and time again he refuses to rebuke Putin, it sends a very clear message.
Never before have we seen a secretary of state call the President a moron before.

He's comfortable with chaos. That's how he's always operated. It doesn't bother him.
You can't be in the midst of the Middle East peace process or dealing with Mexico and the faded relations we have with Mexico right now... without top secret security clearance.
If you don't respect rules you can do anything if you're President of the United States as he has pretty much said including this.
This would have a catastrophic impact on the country if it continues where the chaos he's talking were barely pass the one year mark for this administration.
For all of this chaos to reign around him, for this flouting of rules, the near potential trade war that he apparently lost rather casually today over the advice of many of his senior national security and economic advisors, those kinds of…
You want an experienced team. You want a team that works well with the President and each other. And you want them in place over a long period of time so you can have consistent policy and implement it effectively.
You don't want that decision being made in a chaotic environment or in a casual way.
