The leaking is -- the problem is the president of the United States. And it gets all cool to get caught up in the leaking and no one should say this and no one should say that. That happens in every single White House. The problem now, is…
I have to go back to this standard often because Jeffrey said, well, he's not a lawyer, and so, he is used to pushing back and sometimes he falls into these legal perils.
I think arguably with the addition of this breaking news, we have one of his worst weeks.
If in fact -- making a joke that -- taste, you know, what would be presidential if he actually came out and apologized.
the leader of the free world who's at the top of this system echoing some of the same fundamental problems that make it broken, that is so disheartening.
What we're seeing is basically 'The Apprentice', with the democracy at stake.
Donald Trump's legal team is failing him. Donald Trump's staff is failing him.
This is boiled down to not a Democrat or Republican issue, but this is truly an American issue that affects one-sixth of our economy.
As a Democrat, I feel as if we have to keep the pressure up, as if we have to keep the resistance going because if there's one person in American politics that you cannot underestimate, it's Senator Mitch McConnell.
It's one thing for Donald Trump to say, we're going to repeal and replace. But I've listened with you on many nights, on panels and throughout the campaign season, Donald Trump really doesn't know what's going on when it comes to health…
Until Donald Trump acknowledges that Russia -- if he agrees -- you can shake your head all you want --
Until he agrees with the intelligence community and backs them up and supports them and says what everyone else in this country knows, that Russia interfered with our elections, all this is for naught.
Until you acknowledge that basic fact, until Donald Trump acknowledges that basic fact, as president of the United States, it's moot.
Barack Obama literally crippled the Russian economy with sanctions. And now we know Donald Trump is actually trying to weaken sanctions that the Senate passed by going to the House GOP.
We have a president of the United States who has a credibility deficit. That not only hurts us domestically but the rest of the world is laughing at us.
I think he was literally sticking his head in the stand. He never was briefed about Russia interference.
I do think that the ball -- that the needle didn't move one direction or another today for Democrats or Republicans
Well, it does concern me because what our Intelligence Community has said, you know, uniformly and anonymously is that we had Russian interference in this election and it's not going to stop.
I can be -- I can be deeply disturbed by the way that Jim Comey handled the Hillary Clinton investigation, and I can also say that it offends all of my notions of justice that you cannot fire the person who's investigating you.
I can tell you and everyone else watching, that ain't going to work either.
Today was a disappointing day for the United States of America on both sides.
Barack Obama came out and said, 'If you want to work to make Obamacare better, I will work with you.'
