(CNN) About halfway through the James Comey hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, things got surprisingly medieval. In his written testimony submitted to the committee, Comey had reported that he was left alone with the President, and Trump said, "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go." Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) and Comey both felt this was an attempt to tell Comey what to do, but to avoid giving him a direct order. In an earlier meeting, over an intimate dinner, Comey says Trump asked him for "loyalty."David Perry: James Comey and Angus King say Trump reminds them of King Henry II, who famously remarked: "'Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?"Perry: Trump is no medieval king and Comey is no Becket -- the metaphor falls short
King asked _, "Would you, do you take that as a directive?".

(CNN) The new moniker for President Donald Trump should be the "blamer in chief." When confronted with challenges and problems, there is nothing the President likes to do more than lash out against someone else. In his interview with the New York Times, President Trump seemed like a leader who is fed up with his job. He said he would never have appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions, one of his longest and most loyal supporters in politics, had he known Sessions would recuse himself concerning the Russia investigation. He attacked the FBI director he fired, James Comey, as someone who had tried to intimidate him to keep his job, while saying that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office is compromised as a result of conflicts of interest. "There are very few Republicans in Baltimore, if any," the President said about the hometown of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller special counsel to investigate the Russia matter.The President lashes out, without restraint, at anyone who doesn't fulfill his objectives, and that helps explain his failing presidency, Julian Zelizer writesTrump's attacks on Sessions, Comey and Mueller are remarkable, he writes
His refusal to be firm and resolute about what _ did wrong in meddling in the election aggravates the suspicions of a public that doesn't seem to understand why he feels so determined to be chummy with the Russian leader.

(CNN) Donald Trump's campaign on Monday fired its Virginia chair after he staged a controversial protest in front of the Republican National Committee, the latest flare-up between Republican Party establishment and Trump forces.
