Charlie Sykes: “The Nixon Watergate analogy notwithstanding, has any other president faced this accumulation of public commentary from members of his own administration?”
“These are folks who have watched him up close, who have seen how his mind works, and how he handles the job. We’re not talking here about leakers like Omaraosa or other hangers-on, we are hearing now from his former secretary of defense, chief of staff, and national security advisor. And there will be more.”
