Puts quite a few WH lawyers - inc Bondi - in a bit of a fix.
If he doubles down on this 'I don't have to protect constitution' bullshit, which one of them is going to stand in front of the supreme court and argue that the president is above the constitution?
I just don't get why anybody refers to him as Mr. President, the President, Mr. Trump. Just call him Trump. He doesn't deserve the title and he's made himself illegitimate via his sabotage and treason of our country's cyber/societal/military/diplomatic infrastructure.
"I don't know, I'm not a lawyer". I am not a lawyer, but I can read the Constitution and the oath he took at the start of his term. He must think we are idiots.
The only people who can protect the Constitution now are We the People.
If we get out there in our millions and peacefully make our voices heard, we still have a chance. If we wait for some institution to do it, we are doomed.
It’s that sort of non-answer he loves. It does so many things - it trolls people who can’t imagine any other answer than “of course,” but it also tells his base that, hey sure, if it suits me, I might not. No commitment whatsoever. It’s him in a nutshell. If his answer isn’t “yes”, then it’s “no.”

Call your House reps. Demand impeachment. HRes 353 is already filed and waiting.
