The president is at war with his own law enforcement officials, Republican politicians are increasingly cheering him on, Fox is getting more and more conspiratorial, and law enforcement is now pushing back. My summary of a highly unstable situation: https://t.co/4v8uujLYkZ

so FBI headed by Trump appointee says Democrats are right – the memo Republicans want to release is distorted, misleading, and damaging to national security

Truly remarkable: The @FBI director, appointed by this @POTUS, openly challenging the White House over Nunes memo. If @POTUS releases it anyway, as seems imminent, what happens next? Will Wray quit? Will he fired, too? This is ominous history.https://t.co/R0W6OOYxYF

White House chief of staff John Kelly was not receptive to a pitch from top DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Chris Wray Monday to not release the Republican memo alleging FBI abuses. Trump hasn't seen memo but wants it out and wants to oust Rosenstein. https://t.co/T1IRBaDRaG

.@jaketapper: It's "impossible to imagine a Democratic president doing this, and Republicans on Capitol Hill being as quiet as they are.” It's not partisan politics, it's whether or not you accept that a president is going to try to insert himself into an investigation pic.twitter.com/bYnnobMHGj

The most important thing Trump said last night? His response to Rep. Jeff Duncan who urged him to release the memo: “Oh yeah, don’t worry, 100%.” If he does that over DOJ objections, he’s putting what he thinks is his personal interest over national security and the rule of law.
