disgrace. i think there is a kind much cross-ideological consensus what he was up to was totally unacceptable. there is some basic good news here. i mean, the system, you know, the wheels of justice turn slow, but they grind exceedingly fine. this is a very slow wheel turning, but it does matter to me that the kinds of flagrant abuses of public trust do end up in some way producing this result. and what do you think about, about john kelly, chief of staff john kelly s role in this? it s been reported in multiple news organizations that this was something that he wanted to get done before he leaves and the wall street journal and others have reported that john kelly is likely to depart his post as white house chief of staff at some point this summer. what role do you think kelly played and how much of his remaining capital did he use to get pruitt out? you know, i believe the reporting that kelly has been working on this, but i also feel like it has been clearly the case for sever
not going to be wrapping up in the senate any time soon. but what if the house intelligence committee wraps up? then i think the president and the white house could say, okay, now it s time for the other ones to wrap up. rona graff is a key person. she s his long-time scheduler so she has a lot of access to information. it s very interesting that democrats were not told or given a heads-up on this interview or at least most of them weren t. that s not the only wheel turning. sarah, consensus on whether the white house is trying to orchestrate attempts to discredit special counsel mueller? this as house members, they may be reaching out to them to give voice to this effort. well, certainly the white house and president trump have been critical of the special counsel s investigation since the beginning, but what s notable now, like you mentioned, is that elected members of congress and the gop are starting to get on board with questioning robert mueller s investigation. there s not a
