EXCERPT:
PADILLA: "First, we will continue to demand accountability because the risk -- the stakes of a mistake like this put so many lives at risk, the lives of service women and men that could have been undermined if the sensitive, classified communications via commercially available app would have been compromised. So, they’re trying to underplay it because, of course, Trump never accepts a loss and never accepts accountability. The other question, and I think most of America agrees with me on this, is what happened to the guy who made a living on 'You’re fired?' He used to love firing people for show and attention. And now when a situation calls for it, what is he afraid of? Or who is he afraid of, is maybe another question."
