Steve Bannon’s arrest reminds me of something I learned as a U.S. Attorney and Asst. U.S. Attorney General prosecuting corruption: Rarely, if ever, is an ethical, innocent public official surrounded by criminal associates. @realDonaldTrump? He’s running out of associates.

- I challenge every Republican to watch @realDonaldTrump’s rally last night, complete with chants of “Send her back”, and ask if that is the Party of Lincoln and Reagan we signed up for. We are in a fight for the soul of the GOP, and silence is not an option. #AmericaDeservesBetter
- I just hope we don't end up in cages on the border.Trump on Bill Weld and Joe Walsh: "We consider them non-persons."
- .@realDonaldTrump has ads removed from Facebook for promoting “organized hate.” The ads featured a symbol used by the Nazis in WWII to denote political prisoners. Just take a moment to think about that.
- Last night, our President traveled to a great city, insulted the Mayor, showered the airwaves with vulgarity, disparaged numerous Members of Congress and again embarrassed us all. It’s time to face the fact that @realDonaldTrump is an experiment that has spectacularly failed.
- .@realDonaldTrump has become unhinged and is going down the drain fast. He is not going to be reelected in 2020.
- Unlike @realDonaldTrump, if elected I will NEVER redraw a National Weather Service map to cover up my own dumb mistake.
- I've seen enough. If I were in the Senate, I would vote to remove Donald Trump from office. My op-ed in the @bostonherald:
- Sen. Mitt Romney says what a great many of his colleagues and Republicans across the nation know in their hearts to be true.When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated.
- This is not simply an act of protest. I will not sit quietly on the sidelines any longer while our President praises despotic leaders, insults democratic allies, unravels arms control agreements and rails against the rule of law.Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld is the first Republican to announce his intention to seek the 2020 GOP nomination, but his candidacy might be more an act of protest than a conventional campaign. nyti.ms/2EbjYDb
- I know the vast majority of Republicans in the House, in their hearts, condemn @realDonaldTrump’s racist tweets and words of recent days. It saddens me that Mr. Trump’s insistence on partisan warfare prevents them from voting their hearts and, more importantly, their conscience.
- Yes, I’m running against @realDonaldTrump. But I also served as Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of DOJ—and the POTUS choosing his own resort to host the G-7 isn’t even a gray area. It’s a crime.
