EXCERPT:
LITMAN: "I mean, the effect of this to me is to remind us how egregious and jarring it was. I know there is some sniping about some of the details that are in McCabe’s account. But the general account overall, what it is like in the hallways, the kind of complete flabbergasted feeling that everyone there has. The actual sitting down. This is mind blowing to consider the 25th Amendment, and whether joking or not wearing a wire. This is the sort of stunning abrogation of presidential norms that we've not gotten used to, and this is when they were first becoming accustomed to them. I don't think there's much doubt about the general bona fides of the account. And it's harrowing as he says. This is a slow-motion Saturday Night Massacre. That’s what they were worried about at the time. In some way it is worse. In some ways, as McCabe says, a it's fall-off in standard of presidential accountability such as they never had before. This is the stuff of Greece, Turkey. Law enforcement sitting down and wondering, do we have to oust the recently elected president of the United States? It is stunning."
