How bad are things for Mick Mulvaney? So bad that even Sean Hannity on his radio show was hurling around words like "dumb", "idiotic", etc to describe Mulvaney's presser performance today.

I guess the truth is complicated. This is what, you know -- this is why, I think, some of these people are so stupid. Read the transcript. We don't need a non-whistleblower whistleblower. You don't need a chief of staff's idiotic interpretation of things, when the president and the president of Ukraine and everybody else can read it all themselves. That's what's amazing.
