New York Donald Trump's political tragedy is that he really does believe the call with Ukraine's President was"perfect," though it may yet doom him with the stain of impeachment.
The heavy-handed and characteristic blend of implied pressure and hinted at quid pro quos that Trump deployed in the conversation -- that he first perfected as a real estate shark and then took to the White House -- now threatens to work against him.On stage at a New York news conference Wednesday, Trump, offered moral support by his Cabinet lieutenants Mike Pompeo and Steven Mnuchin, seemed embittered, lonely and a little confused.
Toobin: Trump's press conference was a torrent of lies 01:30 It was another tempestuous day in Washington, where an impeachment drive picked up stunning speed, and in the city where Trump made his legend and desperately fought to save it.It started with growing suspicions that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got too far over her skis by launching impeachment hearings on Tuesday before seeing the call transcript or details of a whistleblower complaint on the same issue against Trump.
