NEW on 'The Investigation' podcast: 'When you're in a hole, stop digging': Clinton lawyer Greg Craig to President Trump. 🎧:

The man who was responsible for providing legal advice to former President Bill Clinton during his impeachment inquiry told ABC News'"The Investigation" podcast that President Donald Trump’s strategy to combat his own impeachment inquiry is “doing enormous damage to him.”

Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the formal beginning of an impeachment inquiry in September, the House has subpoenaed documents from multiple executive branch officials and offices, all of which have gone unanswered. Craig said that the strategy Clinton adopted — which eventually led to his acquittal in the Senate — was to focus his energy on being “the very best president he could be” and leaving the legal maneuvering to his advisers.

"When you go down the impeachment road there is very little that's going on [in] the public domain that is as important," Craig said. Craig also advised House Democrats to keep the scope of their impeachment investigation focused on the Ukraine phone call rather than broadening their investigation to include evidence discovered by former special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into 2016 Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice by the president.

Trump won't stop until he's forced. He lived his entire life as a privileged bully - that's pretty much all he knows.

Mr. Craig ought to give the same advice to Hilary!!!

When you say Clinton, everybody's mind goes to corruption, rape, murder, stealing Haitian's money, infidelity and a whole list of horrible things. How these people are still relevant or not in prison is beyond me.

ABC, you must realize that your company has lost the TINY sliver of credibility you once had? You've been relegated to the scrapyard - alongside CNN. You're naked at school and can't open your locker. Everyone's laughing at you.

Trump is too stupid to stop talking.

You people are nuts. The Clintons are under the bus. IGReport

I think I've heard 3 dozen pundits use that very same cliché over the last week. It's funny how they all use the same one-liners... almost as if it's propaganda saturation. Pathetic.

cute
