Hes fuming at all these things. its what hes done. forced mcmaster out. mcgann hn is leaving. mcgahn has been pretty compliant in things and still has said no several times. sessions, obviously, rosenstein, the entire justice department hes not speaking to. its not just that hes unhappy or psychologically challenged. its a crazy administration. hes running an administration where hes getting -- i think there are fewer guardrails now than a year ago. and he seems more contemptuous the notion that...
