Booker: Here’s the thing, I think you’re not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. This may the last time I have a hearing with you because I don’t think you’re long for this job.

Robert Redford on Trump:

“Instead of a moral compass in the Oval Office, there’s a moral vacuum.
