I would be terribly worried about what was said inside the White House and what was done by the President with regard to the obstruction.
I just felt he would want to protect his reputation for integrity and would want to show that he was independent.
Its language you don't hear and it's often used as a prelude to cracking down and doing things in a tougher way.
Yes, and talking about treason as well. We've seen this pattern before, it's just more glaring I think on this instance.
I think the President was clearly signaling he thinks there's explosive damaging material in that report.
It tells me that this President, his narcissism knows no bounds. ... he's got a new swagger about him these last few days.
He's overridden Betsy DeVos, one of the most loyal members of his cabinet.
I think Adam Schiff is on -- I think he will have a lot of strong public support if he gets to the point where he feels he has to subpoena or write up a narrative.
The issue increasingly for the public is, is he fit for the office. Is he morally fit to lead the country and to lead the world?
It's dishonorable to treat the family, the Warmbier family, this way.
