And that's what's so concerning. I mean, if you look at the President's rhetoric, he's labeling people enemies, making it clear that there are people who are dangers to the country.

He's called them vermin before. He's talked about an infestation before. These are the kinds of phraseology that was used against Jews, by the way, in Nazi Germany and elsewhere in Europe, so it's dehumanizing.

I think he's lost a lot of credibility among his colleagues on Capitol Hill, to say nothing of the distraction that he's creating for the administration.

But in the end, Trump has to mean something. His leadership has to mean something. It has to improve the country. If he can't demonstrate that, then he's just going to be a polemicist, he's just going to be screaming from the rafters.

This president doesn't believe there's any independence. And he'll steam roll, there's no reason he won't make a move on Mueller.

I would like to know what was said and what extent this president pushed Putin on the fact that he tried to hack our election.

I think it will. I mean, you know, there's no Republican that wants to be in a position where they're going to be blamed for people being thrown off coverage.

You could be told you're not being investigated now, that could change tomorrow.

The attorney general who is involved in making this recommendation thought enough to recuse himself from the Russian investigation because he himself failed to disclose that he had meetings with the Russian ambassador.

There is reason to fire Jim Comey.

I would love to ask Hillary Clinton who no doubt will be happy that he's being fired whether she supports purging someone who's investigating a Russian tie to the election.

He is the attorney general of the United States. He advises the president. He knew enough to recuse himself from the investigation. He should have been a grown-up and stood up and said that this was wrong.

He should have never said that no reasonable person would have prosecuted her.

I think this crisis management is ridiculous. This idea of coming out and say we're going to scrap this thing and then turning around, now it's a negotiations because we got to be kind, that's bad.

I think any time as an advisor in the White House, if you get too big, bigger than the principal, bigger than the president, you get into trouble.

This is a conservative group that was not with Donald Trump. Conservatives were not with Donald Trump. And he's reclaimed the party.

This was an act of war. Senator McCain says that. No, no, but that's an objective truth.

Any president has to respect the institution to know that this kind of intrusion is something that could very much come to hurt the United States.

People died because of this crap that's out there all over the world and they can hurt Americans.

This is also not about voters' perceptions and this is not about how people feel about this. This is about the institution. This is about how as president, he or the office could be compromised.

Did this commission not ask the tough questions? Did they not challenge some of these assumptions? And doesn't ultimate responsibility rest with the president of the United States?
