Для скандалов нужно ввести класификацию. Если, например, Трамп опять запостил в Твиттере какую-нибудь расистскую херню или опять восхитился каким-нибудь диктатором, это скандал первого уровня. Не то, чтобы не стоило обращать внимания, но можно уже не удивляться.
Пример скандала более высокого уровня: Трамп уволил все руководство министерства нацбезопасности и сказал и.о. министра, чтобы тот не боялся нарушать закон, потому что в случае чего будет помилован.
TAPPER: Joining me now is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jerry Nadler of New York. Congressman, Mr. Chairman, thanks for joining us. I want to start with my reporting that, according to senior administration officials, President Trump told border agents to stop letting migrants, including asylum seekers, into the U.S., contrary to U.S. law. And then he told Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection at the time, that he would pardon him if he went to jail for doing so. Now, I don't know if the president was serious or joking about the pardon remark, and he's since denied it, but those are the facts as relayed to me by senior administration officials. Your response? REP. JERROLD NADLER (D), NEW YORK: Well, my response is that this just shows the president's contempt for law, another incidence of the president's contempt for law. To order that something clearly illegal, namely, blocking people claiming asylum from coming into the country, which is clearly against our law, that that be done, is against the law. Or offering a pardon, even if in jest, to someone who would disobey the law at the president's request, this is exactly contrary to the key presidential duty and to his oath, which is to see that the faithful -- that the laws are faithfully executed. That's the main job of the president, to see that the laws are faithfully executed. And for a president to sabotage that goal by deliberately seeking to break the law is unforgivable. TAPPER: Is this something you think your committee will take a look at, or does it -- does your commentary on it end here on the show? NADLER: Well, it's part of a pattern of conduct we certainly have to take a look at after we see the Mueller report. http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1904/14/sotu.01.html
