Barbara McQuade: Trump Sees the Attorney General as His Personal Lawyer

‘President Trump confuses personal loyalty to loyalty to the mission of the job’

RUSH EXCERPT:
McQUADE: "The recusal is proper. If you look at ethics guidelines there are a number of reasons if you have a financial, personal or political relationship with someone you are supposed to recuse. So I believe that it was appropriate for him to recuse. I think what is really going on is that President Trump confuses personal loyalty to loyalty to the mission of the job. He sees the Attorney General as his personal lawyer when in fact he is the attorney of the United States."
