Asked who attacked America on 9/11, [Sarah Palin] suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein.
John HeilemannTo get some of the substance of why [Michael] Flynn [is Defense Adviser] is so controversial.
John HeilemannI don`t know who Donald Trump has in mind given that the circle of loyalists around him, the circle of people that he genuinely trusts is very small and getting smaller all the time.
John HeilemannThere are very diminishingly few United States senators who you would like always want to have dinner with. It used to be in the Senate there were an awful lot of them. There are very few of them today that you would just be dying to go out and have dinner with. John McCain is someone I`d have dinner with seven nights a week.
John Heilemann[Michael Flynn is not] the kind of person who is going to be more buttoned-up kind of military figure and that partisan tone.
John HeilemannI think Donald Trump now thinks it`s time for Jeff Sessions to resign. There was a reporting that suggested that when Trump first voiced his exasperation with Sessions, that Sessions made it clear to Trump that if Trump wanted his resignation, he would offer it. It seems to me now Trump is sending a pretty clear signal that what he wants is Jeff Sessions to resign, and it`s also pretty clear to me he`s now at war with everyone in the world of justice and law enforcement in the administration.
