“A witness’s reputation was available for sacrifice to a senator’s ambition. The preparation apparently stopped wherever the desired conclusion began. That combination deserves contempt. Stupidity armed with public authority can injure people.” Steve Schmidt

“It was another day where we were flooded with drama, all of Donald Trump’s making: The revenge prosecution and persecution of Jack Smith, Trump putting his name on President Kennedy’s memorial, Trump’s efforts to ban new outlets whose reporting isn’t to his liking,” Joyce Vance

“If the public can be persuaded that the man and the office are the same thing, then service to the country can be replaced by service to the family. Criticism becomes disloyalty. Scrutiny becomes persecution. An election defeat becomes an injustice that must somehow be undone.” Steve Schmidt

“But look at the pattern across four centuries. Every time working people of different colours, sexes, faiths and nationalities got together, from Jamestown to Lawrence to Blair Mountain to Hampton's apartment to Grunwick, the response was fast, organised and often fucking lethal.” Winston Brown

“This isn’t just another squabble between the president and the press; it’s a serious situation that cuts to the core of our First Amendment rights. Put simply, this is a case about whether the press, and by extension the rest of us, can be critical of the president and his admin.” Joyce Vance
