David Jolly: Trump’s Saying that He’d Accept Info from a Foreign Power Is an ‘Impeachable Moment’

‘We almost don’t feel the outrage we should’

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: "Yeah, he has conditioned us to accept moments like today, and we almost don't feel the outrage we should. And, Brian, I think today's moment, taken in isolation, what the President said behind the resolute desk, in and of itself is an impeachable moment. This was not the President of the United States being cavalier. This was Donald Trump suggesting he'd be willing to engage in a commission of a crime to benefit his own re-election. That he would entertain collusion, if you will, support from even an adversary for his own benefit, in an adverse interest to our democracy. And the eyes of the nation tonight must look to Nancy Pelosi. It is not her fault that this moment has occurred. She did not have a hand in Donald Trump's behavior, but she occupies the highest constitutional office outside of the White House. This is the moment where we're begging for leadership. I understand Speaker Pelosi is tired of this. She said yesterday she doesn't even want to speak about Donald Trump. The nation is weary right now of this. We can't feel the outrage on a daily basis.”
