First Russians objective was – as I said earlier – to sow discord, discontent, disruption. And their next objective was – because of the very strong personal animus that Putin himself had for both Clintons, both President Clinton and Secretary Clinton – and he particularly held her responsible for what he felt was an attempted color revolution in 2011 to attempt to overturn him. So, he had very strong hatred – personal hatred – towards her, and that kind of led him to – if I’m opposed to her, who am I going to favor?

Impeachment is our system’s last resort for someone who treats himself or herself as above the law, the most relevant thing is whether this president, by his recent course of action, on top of his violations of the foreign corruption or emoluments clause, this president has shone that he cannot be trusted to remain within the law and our constitution’s last resort for situations of that kind is to get the person out of office.

Obviously, what’s happening in China right now is crucial, in the party congress, which as someone said has anointed a new emperor of China in President Xi.
