Lawyer and CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin criticized Donald Trump on Tuesday for his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the indictments of two Republican congressmen, saying the president's comments may be grounds for his impeachment.
"This tweet alone may be an impeachable offense," Toobin said on CNN's New Day. "This is such a disgrace. This is so contrary to the traditions of the Department of Justice. ... Its such an insult to the decent people who work there."
Although the president has attacked many of his enemies on Twitter before, Toobin said Trump's decision to complain about Sessions and the indictments, as well as their potential effect on the Republican Party in the midterm elections, are more serious breach of behavior and "such an affront to the values of the Justice Department."
Trump took to Twitter on Monday to slam the investigations into Republican Representatives Chris Collins of New York and Duncan Hunter of California, claiming that they jeopardized the Republican Partys prospects for the November midterm elections.
"Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department," Trump wrote. "Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff.
Collins and Hunter, who have both declared their support of Trump, were recently indicted on criminal charges.

Did he approve secrets be given to some for ,money because he's almost broke? I bet someone knows , and has a long list to use against him soon.
