I think we’ve hit an inflection point.
Staffers who were sitting on juicy nuggets of impeachment fodder are going to be jamming into each other in doorways. Less fear, more motivation to save their own asses.

I’m sure he and Erdogan had a lot to discuss in this regard. He’s just too childish, thin-skinned and impatient to arrange things so that the media and political opponents self-censor, like his idol Putin has done.
