administration skeptically and subjected his team to rigorous interviews, like chris wallace, shepard smithtrump doesn't like to quote those guys in his twitter feed. instead, he prefers people like the "fox and friends" and of course, one of his favorite sources, bill o'reilly. in fact, you might remember that when trump tweeted out of nowhere in january, that he might send the feds to chicago, it had been uttered nearly verbatim an hour earlier by o'reilly. and then of course, there was the time trump saw a fox news segment about sweden and suggested there had been a terrorist incident there, even though there was not. o'reilly covered the incident by interviewing a guest named nils bildt, whom o'reilly identified as a swedish defensive national security adviser. there's just one problem, it turns out that guy has not lived in sweden for a very long time and no one within the swedish security community seems to know him.

you already see little sparkles of this shepard smith, not everybody is totally on board with this. and already you don't see from fox much but you do see it from the wall street journal, the wall street journal has given trump some timeouts. but, of course trump is such a mess and has so little impulse control that it is perfectly conceivable that he will do, or already has done something that is impeachable. let us not forget bill clinton. this impeachment thing is not as easy as it looks. my wife at the moment, i was -- i don't think the republicans are going to do well with trying to impeach someone for sex, let's who through the first stone. my wife said no, think about what this was really about. think about the power aspect of this. this is an intern, she was like 19 or 20, barely out of her, still in her adolescence. obviously somewhat fragile. this is the most powerful man in the world. don't think about the sex, think about the disparity of power. how wrong that was. of course that is not what he got impeach for, he got a piece for lying about it. which is something in my
