Trump goes to war without a war room

Sekulow said the impeachment inquiry "will be handled the same way."

• "Solid teams are in place both inside the White House and outside," the lawyer said. "I am confident that we will meet any issues with Congress."
• Trump, like during the Russia probe, will often serve as the commander, the spokesman, and the combatant.
• You saw this last night when he decided to quote a pastor claiming America could fall into a civil war if he is ousted. 

Lanny Davis, the face of Clinton's war room during the impeachment battle of 1998-99, said Trump's team is making a mistake by not distinguishing between the Mueller investigation and impeachment.

• Davis said the Clinton war room included about a dozen people, half of them lawyers.
• "Without facts, good or bad," Davis told me, "you can't effectively defend against impeachment."
