“Biden can’t treat Trump like he is normal…He needs to say absolutely not no briefings. As long as you are under indictment for violating the secrets of this country, you do not get briefings. If you don’t like it, pound sand.” Claire McCaskill w/ Nicolle Wallace
“Trump has turned the party into a wholly owned subsidiary of his own ambitions, everybody understands that they are going to have to fall in line, even if that means sacrificing American interests, allies, Ukraine, and above all American democracy.” Ben Rhodes w/ Nicolle Wallace
“Trump has said in a second turn he wants to wipe out government agencies, and install Trump loyalists who will carry out every demand of his, that means that this will be filled with yes men and women who will not push back on him.” Sarah Matthews w/ Nicolle Wallace

“There’s this taint that I think was needlessly inflicted by a judge who might be very well-intentioned but I think was really inexperienced in terms of having this kind of hearing.”
“Fani Wallis is probably one of the few lawyers in Georgia that is qualified to prosecute a case of this scope and magnitude so if she is disqualified it is very likely it is going to take a long time to find a new prosecutor, if at all.” Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵) w/ Nicolle Wallace
“Jack Smith is taking this on the horns, and deciding that it appropriate to speak in court filings, but that it is also appropriate for him to explain that this is a bunch of malarkey” Carol Leonnig on Jack Smith fighting Trump’s lies about classified info w/ Nicolle Wallace

“If we were just talking about Donald Trump, that would be concerning enough but we are not, we are talking about a population that has been very quickly educated…we have a population now…that is willing to blow past norms.” Sherrilyn Ifill w/ Nicolle Wallace
“Republicans are soft on Russia, they see this as Trump likes Russia, Russia likes Trump so we have to go with Trump. And that is how they are going to view this and it is too bad because ultimately Ukraine's freedom is America’s freedom.” Rep. Eric Swalwell w/ Nicolle Wallace
“Putin needs it because if Donald Trump wins Ukraine is over let’s just call it what it is, and Trump needs it because if he wins, these federal cases are over and the state cases are on ice.” Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads)🌻 w/ Nicolle Wallace talking about the shared interest of Putin and Trump
