for damaging democracy in this country. >> certainly as things drip out from the senate judiciary committee and department of justice it is looking worse and worse as if it wasn't just a one off, it wasn't just one instance where donald trump tried to convince the attorney general to get involved. it was a calculated, premeditated plan to pressure the department of justice and not dissimilar to the saturday night massacre where two attorneys general had to resign before the solicitor general at the time would actually do president nixon's bidding. donald trump had similar plans to fire jeffrey rosen and fire richard donahue and then to elevate jeffery clark to be the ag so that that letter we now know could go out. this is scary as you point out.
