Great leaders know how to give up power. It's easy to take power dictators and dispense to that all the time. But great leaders like George Washington part with their power, ensuring a seamless transition, but these guys are just in it for…

I think the most troubling thing, Katy, is that we have a vice president now, who is exerting terrible leadership. ... The idea that he can even figure out now 56 days after the election, who won, or to congratulate Kamala Harris, our…

The idea that the vice president gets to pick the next vice president and not you and me, there's nothing more profoundly un-American about this.

I mean, this is a guy who still hasn't congratulated our first female African-American vice president in our history. And so, he's a kind of spineless individual.

But the one thing we know is that this is not the American way.

This is no time for anyone to be a bystander. A republic is on the line.

There's only one word to describe Bill Barr, and that's disgrace. And that's really it. He's going to go down as the worst Attorney General, in our lifetimes, perhaps ever.

There is nothing more corrosive than the idea that if you get -- if you're the member of the president's political party, you get a pardon and nothing else.

The most sacred duty you have as attorney general is to apply the law evenhandedly.

He will go down as the worst attorney general in our lifetimes and perhaps ever.

Barr goes down as an attorney general who weaponized the Justice Department to help Trump's friends.

It's not actually hard. I mean, I think a new attorney general literally just has to look at what Barr and say, kind of like the question, what would Jesus do, you would ask, what would Bill Barr do and do the reverse.

You cannot look at all of these pardons tonight and find that reason in any of them and you particularly cannot find it in the pardoning of these four convicted killers from -- who worked with Blackwater.

It is a strong nine nothing loss for Trump. It's impossible to lose more.

this Justice Department has been frankly a disgrace, Brian, and beyond a disgrace. It's despicable.

I think it's quite clear that he can't pardon himself. The words and the constitution require that you can grant pardons as president, and it's nonsensical to think you can grant something to yourself.

What Flynn did today, what Flynn got away with is to me so reprehensible, Lawrence, it's so corrosive because he got away with it not because there was some brilliant defense he had. He got away with it because he was the president's pal.

This is a guy who pled guilty, admitted two times to two different federal judges that he committed a federal crime.

It's over. Trump has lost far too much in far too many states and the Michigan certification today that you just mentioned underscores that.

What business are you doing trying to disenfranchise millions of voters? It's un-American.

It's a crime to interfere with people's right to vote, or to conspire to do so.

I can assure you that I think today was really the storm before the calm that is, I know there's a lot of anxiety now with Trump, like potentially trying to interfere with these Michigan electors and all the things, Brian, that you're…

There's nothing that's more precious in our democracy than the right to vote.

Over the last two weeks, Trump has single handedly made the case for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act better than anyone, better than even Jason, better than the NAACP, better than MALDEF, better than the Dems in Congress. He has launched…

We have a president who's enabling this. And, yes, absolutely, I think people, like in Georgia, or the Lindsey Grahams of the world who are out there trying to orchestrate some campaign to throw out legal votes, this can't be good for the…
