He may catch some flak for it, but that's what being a leader is. I mean, he's got to step up and do a tough thing and he's got to get this guy out of the race for the sake of his own party and his own agenda.

I think couple of things influenced the rapidity once wish they responded. One was Tuesday night and the election results, and them recognizing they've got to appeal more to the middle.

If Moore stays in there, it's going to really hurt the Republican brand across the country, maybe not in Alabama but across the country.

What we now know is that the government is charging that an unregistered foreign agent for Soviet stooge or Russian stooges was campaign chairman for President Trump.

There was a clear desire on the part of people in the Trump campaign to get the dirt, whatever it was, whether it was e-mails or whatever else they might get from the Russians.

I would think that the wise score would be to follow Lindsay Graham in saying the President should stay in his lane. You know, this is too serious. And be respectful of the process and let the process play out.

If the charges relate to collusion or conspiracy against the United States... that's going to send a shutter through the White House.

If you stay quiet and they eventually charge you with something or they eventually find you guilty of something, I will pardon you at that point.

We do know that the Mueller investigation, you know, there was some speculation, and the Trump White House was trying to make us believe that there was nothing here.

We know he lied to various people along the way. If he lied to a variety of people around the White House, there's a decent chance he lied to the FBI.

We can use the word blessing, but he wasn't -- the charges weren't rejected by Rosenstein.

I think it very much depends upon what charges are brought.
