Quote
of
the
Day.
Oh,
it’s
so
easy.
It’s
so
easy.
…
I
would
fire
him
within
two
seconds.
—
Former
President
Donald
Trump,
in
comments
given
to
conservative
podcast
host
Hugh
Hewitt,
when
asked
what
he
would
do
if
he
were
reelected
and
had
to
choose
between
firing
special
counsel
Jack
Smith
or
pardoning
himself.
Smith
is
leading
the
Justice
Department’s
investigation
into
Trump’s
attempt
to
overturn
the
2020
presidential
election
as
well
as
his
mishandling
of
classified
documents.
