VF reports that Trump continues to raise the possibility of a Manafort pardon, which Don McGahn is reportedly against. Trump has told people he's considering bringing in a new lawyer if McGahn won't draft a pardon. "He really at this point does not care."

Seth Frotman was the top student loan watchdog in the federal government. He just quit his post at the @CFPB in a letter to Mick Mulvaney: "under your leadership, the Bureau has abandoned the very consumers it is tasked by Congress with protecting."

In the Oval Office just now I asked @realDonaldTrump if he had any thoughts on the legacy on John McCain. He heard me but did not answer.

Even the cabinet is closed confused about honoring McCain. Flag at Energy is half staff. At Agriculture, across the street, flag is at full staff.
Dear @SecPompeo: You served on active duty. As a nation mourns McCain, it would be appropriate to lower the flag to half staff at all @StateDept buildings. I respectfully request you give that order, regardless of the views of @realDonaldTrump. It is the honorable thing to do. https://t.co/yIllKANhMq— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 27, 2018
As flag over the WH hangs at full staff, @juliehdavis on how Trump’s refusal to honor John McCain shows he is “unwilling to act as a unifying force at major moments in the life of the country.”

Kelli Ward suggested Saturday that a statement issued Friday by John McCain's family about his treatment ending was intended to hurt her Senate campaign. McCain died hours after her remarks.
Once again, a national reminder that Kelli Ward is a trash person supported by trash people. https://t.co/ke75GG3d7d— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) August 26, 2018
Trump’s War on the Justice System Threatens to Erode Trust in the Law
“Sometime soon in a US courtroom, a defense lawyer may argue that the prosecution of a gang member is a witch hunt built around a witness who has flipped and taken a plea deal of dubious legality. He will be quoting the president of the United States.” https://t.co/fpN7W9AHzR— Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) August 26, 2018

Pompeo hasn’t been straight with us on North Korea
This is what happens when you flatter a narcissistic, ignorant president. Trying to preserve the image of effectiveness and competence simply delays the inevitable recognition that North Korea never had any intention of denuclearizing. https://t.co/sUlwwTntEH— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) August 26, 2018
