Schiff: Trump ‘Has Very Little Appreciation of How a System of Checks and Balances Works’

‘You look for a president to have an independent Justice Department, an independent FBI’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHIFF: "Well, you know, when you look at the pattern, Sally Yates did her job. She got fired by President Trump. Director Comey was investigating something the president described as a fake. He got fired. You know, it doesn’t, you know, particularly enhance your career prospects, I guess, to take action that the president decides is not in his very personal interest. That’s not a quality you look for in a president. You look for a president to have an independent Justice Department, an independent FBI, and I think that’s been very much thrown into question by this president’s actions."
