"There's something that the President said that's been sticking in my mind since last week. When people first started asking him about this idea, this conversation, with Zelensky, he said, 'Keep on climbing,' basically, 'up this ladder of this story...'"
"'...because you're going to fall a long way when the truth comes out.' And there's a little piece of me that's wondering if this is all orchestrated to bring everybody down who's seeking impeachment. That may be giving them too much credit. I dunno. But that stuck in my mind..."
