to throw it away mid-storm
is not to prove the storm has passed.”

Discussing Virginia redistricting ruling with Katy Tur and @Timodc at 2:15 on MS Now.

Antonia Hylton: How do you read the first lady making a public statement like this?
James Sample: How are things going for the Trump administration? 48 hours ago, the president of the United States, her husband, was threatening the destruction of a whole civilization.

James Sample: Pam Bondi, who one week ago was the attorney general should be testifying before the House Oversight Committee, will not be testifying because she's no longer the attorney general. Hillary Clinton sat for hours in a deposition, even though she last held office 13 years ago.
