To get some of the substance of why [Michael] Flynn [is Defense Adviser] is so controversial.

[Michael Flynn is] someone who has advocated for a much tighter ties with Russia and had raised some eyebrows in terms of some of the consorting that he did around Washington.

I 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.

[Michael Flynn is not] the kind of person who is going to be more buttoned-up kind of military figure and that partisan tone.

Asked who attacked America on 9/11, [Sarah Palin] suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein.

He is obviously an American hero. John McCain is a vanishing breed. He is an iconoclast, he is in his own mind and often in reality a maverick. And I think, you know, you having spent the time that you spent in the Senate know that this is true.

This is a guy [Michael Flynn] who stood up at the Republican convention and reveled in the chants of "lock her up" about Hillary Clinton.
