I do believe that behind the scenes Republicans are moving in and pressuring him to back off. And I have no doubt that it's the fear of what is going to happen to the economy that is driving the pressure.

It makes me sick to think that in the end, it is Wall Street that will move in to stop wayward Republican presidents. Pam Bondi wasn't wrong in seeing the connection. Only in saying it out loud.

And if Wall Street will sit back and only move in at the last minute to put a Republican president in check, what pressure is it applying to Democratic presidents for attempting to do good in this country?
