"I would be stunned if Joe Biden picked up the phone and made calls to senators on impeachment."

"I think that's an apt way to put it. It is the genius of American democracy. We tend to produce the leaders we need in times of crisis."

"this is the worst set of circumstances any president has faced since Franklin Roosevelt."

"the time consumed on impeachment is going to be difficult, because it's time that's not focused on dealing with his agenda."
