Even in a presidency that long ago burned through all conceivable superlatives, Trump's statement was a stunner.This was more than a mere candidate calling on Russia to find Hillary Clinton's emails. It went further than dumping on US intelligence agencies by believing Russian President Vladimir Putin's smirking denials of election interference. Or Trump's claims that the Kremlin's 2016 interference caper is one big Democratic hoax.
Pelosi: Impeachment is not off the table 01:19The immediate political effect of Trump's interview was to fan more Democratic calls for the President's impeachment -- and to make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's life more difficult. "It is past sad. It is past frustration. This is criminal. It is criminal. And we need to hold this president accountable," Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Michigan, told CNN's Erin Burnett.
Clapper stunned by Trump's remarks to ABC 01:39But the political consequences of Trump's statements on Wednesday may pale in comparison with the intelligence and national security problems they will seed.The President did not just risk the integrity of the 2020 vote, he reinforced the already strong impression that he would do anything it takes -- anything -- to win. Since he has the power of the presidency, that's a troubling thought.
John King knocks GOP 'selective outrage' over Stone raid 02:47The lesson of Trump's two-plus years in power is that convention-shattering comments like these will do nothing to crumble the rigid GOP base of support that sustains his presidency.On the evidence of past kerfuffles, Republican senators can be expected to dodge and hedge. Conservative pundits will deny he did anything wrong.
Elizabeth Warren: Impeachment not about politics 04:56That is not to say there will not be reverberations from the President's interview. In the real world, there will be political, practical and intelligence implications.After all, he's inviting anyone to play in the process that ultimately underscores American democracy. If elections have no integrity, the public's faith in those to whom it grants power cannot be guaranteed and the system will be in severe jeopardy.
