he was suicidal watching him. His statement about not complying with the subpoena was scary. He was used by cable news last night. Hope his family intervenes.

disturbing--whether from drugs and alcohol, a manic break, or sheer exhaustion/sleep deprivation + anxiety + paranoia.

We don't know that he was mixing alcohol with his self-admitted antidepressants, but clearly something is wrong with him.
