President Trump called the whistleblower complaint a "Scam" in a press conference with the Finnish president on Wednesday, and White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller called it a "Partisan hit job" in a contentious interview earlier in the week.
"The president of the United States is the whistleblower, and this individual is a saboteur trying to undermine a democratically elected government," Miller said on Fox News Sunday.
Among the revelations of the past week has been that the president has to "Hide" his phone calls from much of his own administration to reduce leaks.
As early as the winter of the president's inauguration, federal employees were already publicly trading tips on how to "#resist" from within.
When President Trump claims to be an outsider in his own administration, in a very real sense, he's not wrong.
Our political moment contains more than a few parallels to the Jacksonian era, among them a rough-and-tumble president who horrifies the denizens of Washington and a restless voting public that has deep disagreements with the business as usual that has been taken for granted among the chattering classes for decades.
The Robert Mueller investigation, and now this impeachment attempt over the president's call with Ukraine, are waking Americans up to the consequences of allowing such an insulated and permanent class to wield enormous power over the country's policies.
