Justin Duckham: Sarah Sanders let it slip a little bit that Trump will be making a decision on a pardon; that implies that one is thinking about it. Trump says he hasn't considered a pardon.

Sarah Burris: It used to be when someone created their own reality, we just put them in the attic and called them Aunt So-and-so.

Bob Ney: I'm stunned. You've got to be kidding. 47 months?? I got 30 mos, lost all my money and my house, and all that over a $4000 difference. I'm speechless.

Scott Dworkin: I wasted a good part of my Saturday watching Trump's CPAC speech. I figured it'd be 30 min tops. Two hours later... He was rambling, sweaty, nervous, all over the place.

Sarah Burris: Trump starts another scandal to distract from the last scandal. That's exhausting for us who have to follow this every. single. day. Can't he go play golf or something? Get him out of the WH.
