   Something that I discovered in writing (the film is that) ... when something stops working that you actually acknowledge it or recognise it for the first time, it's like if you're going through a door and it's locked you suddenly look at the door and you look at how it works, so I thought well through a divorce we could explore a marriage.

5. Jeff Flake:

   He serves at the President's pleasure, so The President can fire The President. I sincerely hope that he doesn't. People worry about about the domino — if Attorney General Sessions goes, who's next ? Is it Rod Rosenstein ? Obviously, the President's comments yesterday, The President just keeps going further and further, attorney General Sessions did the right thing to recuse Attorney General Sessions. And for The President to say otherwise just is simply wrong. So I hope that The President stops trying to undermine the credibility of the Department of Justice, and let Attorney General Sessions serve.
