Bernstein: "There's really only 1 institution that has been tainted & that is the Trump presidency"

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein responds to Trump's attacks calling the FBI 'tainted': "There’s really only one institution that has been tainted through these months, and that is the Trump presidency."


"It’s tainted by the president’s lies, by his disrespect for American institutions operating under the law with traditional American democracy and the instruments thereof. He’s contemptuous of those instruments." -Carl Bernstein


"If the president is as confident as he says, if this investigation is going to end very soon with him being exonerated, he ought to welcome all of this instead of attacking constantly. He’s doing a grave disservice to our democracy." -Carl Bernstein.
