2. These are heavyweight points of view

3. Did any of them seriously believe

that Dump ever respected the rule of law? He respects no one or nothing. He worships himself and to hell with anyone else, including the American public.

5. Nope, none of them believe it but it's nice to have it spoken publicly. Another brick in the wall.

Impeachment's coming.

4. This is just further Obama hatred on 45's part

He's doing everything he can to erase Obama's legacy, but he can't put a dent in Obama's Presidency.
