“I don’t think she answered the question, ‘did she unmask people in the Trump administration?' she said, ‘maybe I did, but I didn’t do it for political reasons.'”
“I think it’s incumbent on her to show to the American people why it wouldn’t have been a political reason.”
“If someone were investigating the Trump administration, it ought to be the F.B.I. not someone in the White house, she’s a political appointee that reports directly to the president.”
“The real question we need to ask is did the president eavesdrop and sift through all of the mountains of intelligence we have?”
“Did you know that over a million Americans’ phone calls are listened to without a warrant? We need to protect American privacy.”
“We can’t allow intelligence to be used for political purposes.” - Rand Paul regarding Susan Rice's unmasking of Trump Administration officials.

McCain Calls Nuclear Option Proponents ‘Stupid Idiots’McCain Calls Nuclear Option Proponents ‘Stupid Idiots’
Perpetual GOP malcontent Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called lawmakers “stupid” who believed invoking the so-called “nuclear option” to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court would ultimately improve the Senate, during a gaggle with reporters Tuesday.
The Arizona senator was prompted Tuesday by an unidentified reporter to react to individuals who say “the Senate will be a better place” after the nuclear option is invoked.
“I would like to meet that idiot,” McCain fired back, “I would like to meet that numbskull that would say that, that after 200 years — at least 100 years — of this tradition where the Senate has functioned pretty well, they think it’d be a good idea to blow it up.”

One of the very best innovations of the Trump administration is the spread of "gaggle" in this context.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
“I think as a woman who is in elective office, it is disappointing to me. She has the opportunity to role model graciousness but she is choosing to live and stew in bitterness and to blame somebody else.” -Rep. Marsha Blackburn on Hillary Clinton "taking responsibility" for her loss
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, expressed outrage Thursday at video that appears to show Erdogan's bodyguards violently breaking up a protest earlier this week outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington.
"We should throw their ambassador the hell out of the United States of America," said McCain on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
McCain said "this kind of thing cannot go un-responded to diplomatically." He suggested that lawsuits should be filed if the responsible bodyguards can be identified.
