Nancy Gertner: “this is power, it seems to me, that is baked into the Constitution and cannot be taken away.”

this was a move that, in my view, is so far from constitutional that no judge worthy of their name would ever rule in a different direction.

This is just pushing back on the judiciary, and then, when the judiciary does what they don’t want them to do, and the judiciary says this is wrong, trying to delegitimize that decision.

the notion that after this kind of behavior, the President can claim now, I'm sorry, I didn't realize what was in my basement, it makes absolutely no sense.

This is unequal at the start. And there's no outside context. I can't emphasize enough how unusual it is to simply have people, you know, confront their accuser with no other evidence other than essentially their own words.
