Olbermann:
"I don't care about the consequences. I don't care if it energizes his base. I don't care if there's a conflict with his secret service. I don't care if his cult riots in the street. At some point, somebody in the legal system has to reassert the simple fact that the law applies to this bastard too! ..."

The Warning with Steve Schmidt

"The President... must demonstrate a readiness...to take on Donald Trump…and to lay waste to the worst idea birthed on American soil since the Confederacy, which is Trumpism. It is an amalgam of fascist principles, self-interest cynicism, religious fanaticism, and business cynicism. A conspiracy of the self-interested to make a buck at the expense of our future...This deserves fierce defiant opposition!"

"The Hamas attack on Israel did in one day what Putin could not do for two years, and that's to make the West forget about Ukraine. I don't believe this attack was a coincidence. I think Iran and Russia, clearly they're strong allies… to me it's not a surprise that this attack happened when it did and that Russia is benefiting from it so much... "
