With the impeachment inquiry entering its public phase since Wednesday, President Trump has not given up attacking the process. With the President putting in so much resources in condemning the impeachment many wonder if the he has the time to carry out his duties.

Bill Clinton has got some advice for the President. According to a really interesting article from The Hill by Brett Samuels,

Former President Bill Clinton (D) on Thursday advised President Trump to leave fighting impeachment to his staff and focus on his agenda.

“My message would be, look, you got hired to do a job,” Clinton said during a phone interview with CNN. “You don’t get the days back you blow off. Every day is an opportunity to make something good happen.

“And I would say I’ve got lawyers and staff people handling this impeachment inquiry, and they should just have at it,” he continued. “Meanwhile, I’m going to work for the American people. That’s what I would do.”

Clinton is in a rare position to offer insight on how Trump might handle the prospect of impeachment, given the GOP-controlled House impeached the former Democratic president in 1998.
