BILL CLINTON<\/strong>. If POTUS were a Democrat we\u2019d be on impeachment hearings already<\/a>: \u201cI think they have tried, by in large, to cover this investigation based on the facts.

Think about somebody that does exactly what I did at TMZ and they just do that at work, right? But Tuesday morning, they come in and they lost their job and they can\u2019t go back and make that. That\u2019s why God put that on me at age 40. I never been diagnosed until I was 39 years old [\u2026] diagnosed with a mental condition.

STEVE SCHMIDT<\/strong>. Kevin McCarthy has disqualified himself to be Speaker of the House with remarks about Trump Tower meeting<\/a>: \u201cIt gives me no pleasure to say this.
