The problem of the book, it seems you haven't read it yet, but for the reporting we've got is this.

This is a man who threw his own son under the bus.

That's simply not true. Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, all met with the Russians with the stated intent of gaining from the Russian government as they were told in e-mails, dirt on Hillary Clinton.

My indelible impression of talking to senior Trump advisers and observing them through much of the first year of his presidency is that they all 100% came to believe he was incapable of functioning in his job. This is the crisis we face…

A hostile foreign power hacked the United States and tried to swing the election to Donald Trump who then won.

When I worked in the White House, if I want Janet Reno, the attorney general, to come to a press conference, I went to the White House Counsel's office.

The White House must never reach out to the attorney general to try to pressure him.

This is part of what our president has done that we should not turn away from, is that he's trying to bend the norms of democracy to his own autocratic will.

He'll have to defend his reporting, but this does jibe with everyone else's reporting.

But they spent the trial for May.

This is not just, oh, he's too liberal to conservative. This is people close to him screaming that he is unfit to be our president.

It's always been about Russia with this President and according to Bannon, and I think a lot of smart people, the Russia story goes through money and money laundering.

I think a lot of Democrats are going to be drawn to Joe Biden.

I do think that, you know, Karl Rove and I got pretty famous of Bill Clinton. We never spoke at rallies, right? We stayed back behind the scenes and behind the stage.

Every charge back then was aired, every woman was heard, it was litigated, it's investigated, adjudicated.

This shows is they're no longer the party of Ronald Regan or George Bush, they're the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore.

Democrats do always duty of loyalty and activism to women, because we're the party of women.

Jerusalem is the most difficult piece of real state on God's earth and so we don't want to take one tiny piece of that final status and preempt it.

Get rid of Moore and Menendez, the Senate will be a better place.

It is striking that, to my knowledge, only one Republican senator, the 30 Democrats have called on their fellow Democrat who is popular, who's really well liked and well respected among his colleagues but 30 Democrats, I think, have and…

The privilege is between the lawyer and her or his client. That's the privilege. If -- so that clients can talk to their lawyers in confidence.

The FBI's job is to investigate and then to refer. And they just do a great job. They have so many career professionals are really impressive. I hate that our president is attacking them.

If he were in fact and is he would want to remove that -- well.

I do think he would be wise to hold back. And I thought the attorney general's comment which was about a policy debate was fine.

He should want if he's innocent -- to have that tape removed. Instead he is acting every day like a guilty man, maybe because he is.
