Neal Katyal: We Are ‘Possibly Seeing the End of the Trump Presidency’

‘I really do think that we are very possibly seeing the end of the Trump presidency as a result of those revelations and those are not words I use lightly’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KATYAL: "I definitely have in mind the president. This idea that the president tried to fire Mueller, I really do think that we are very possibly seeing the end of the Trump presidency as a result of those revelations and those are not words I use lightly. But this is the first time I’ve said anything like this and it is because of two things. One is the legal stuff we’ve been talking about. There’s an open investigation by Mueller of trump for obstruction of justice for firing Comey, for demanding the loyalty of everyone around him, seems to be incapable of telling the truth when it comes to Russia, 19 separate lies about who was meeting with the Russians and the like. So you’ve got the elements of cover up. That’s what people have been talking about today. There’s a second thing, a non-legal aspect to this, which I think is even more important and that is does this person have the character, to pick up the word of the op-ed, to be the president of the United States. Trump was asked about whether he was thinking of firing Mueller in August of 2017 and he said he, quote, hadn’t given it any thought, and he sent his lawyer out to say “Firing Mueller has never been on the table, never, and it’s a manifestation of the media” and Kellyanne Conway said similar things."
