I certainly never expected that he would not pardon his only surviving son for something that there was strong evidence of that no one else would have been charged with, but for his political connections to the president.

I think it behooves him from a business standpoint to visit with Donald Trump.

Democrats have to be really precise when they decide to take on these battles.

I think with Donald Trump in the White House, you're going to see more discipline because he's going to exert more influence.

This is going to strengthen his argument unfortunately, in their minds that these cases were the result of politics rather than the merits.

This cements Merrick Garland's legacy as being the most ineffective attorney general of the United States in modern history because he waited so long to open these investigations.

I think that Donald Trump has been very clear that he's got a list of enemies and that Jack Smith, Dr. Fauci and many others are on that list.

I don't think it's a distraction to be talking about Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth because they're both quite toxic and dangerous in their own ways.

who should come no place close to being the director of National Intelligence; who, if she were to be confirmed, would make all of America less safe and do damage to our foreign policy interests.

I think this is part of a strategy. The fact that there have been so many toxic nominations made over the past... maybe Matt Gaetz is the sacrificial lamb because he is so extraordinarily toxic.

That is a real problem. And the fact that we're not even talking about that because everybody else has these credible allegations against them.
