George T. Conway III

“Trump's lawyers are right that if a president does what he honestly thinks is simultaneously in his personal electoral and the national interests, that's not impeachable, in the following sense: If a president cuts taxes because he thinks it will get him reelected and it will create jobs, that's fine. That's ordinary electoral politics.”

“By vesting in the House the 'sole Power of Impeachment,' the Constitution makes it wholly the House's business how to decide whether to impeach a president.”

“Any U.S. attorney's office would fall over itself to investigate, for example, a state governor who, while running for reelection against a former mayor, so much as hinted to the mayor's successor that, say, highway funds would be restricted unless the current mayor were to announce an inquiry into her predecessor's alleged corruption.”

“Charged with faithfully executing the laws, the president is, in effect, the nation's highest law enforcement officer.”

“If there's one thing we know about President Trump, it's that he lies and he cheats. Endlessly. And shamelessly. But still, mostly, incompetently.”

“The Framers of the Constitution expected the presidency to be occupied by special individuals, selfless people of the highest character and ability. They intended the Electoral College to be a truly deliberative body, not the largely ceremonial institution it has become today.”

“The public has no interest in whether the President acts boldly or timidly in his personal affairs.”

“Fiduciaries are people who hold legal obligations of trust, like a trustee of a trust. A trustee must act in the beneficiary's best interests and not his own. If the trustee fails to do that, the trustee can be removed, even if what the trustee has done is not a crime.”

“Trump is not some random, embittered person in a parking lot - he's the president of the United States. By virtue of his office, he speaks for the country.”

“The electoral calendar is set in stone, by law.”

“Trump's attacks against the judiciary reflect his view that only he should be able to decide what he can and cannot do.”

“The president's duty to faithfully execute his office includes not only a duty of loyalty to the nation but also a duty of care - a duty to act with reasonable diligence and upon a reasonable basis.”

“I think the Republican Party has become something of a personality cult.”

“One of the bad things about bad behavior by politicians (particularly by Donald Trump, because he's president, but by others as well) is that it not only can encourage bad behavior by politicians of all ideological stripes but also can be cited to justify it.”

“It's simply not bias for a judge to explain her reasoning in a dissent.”

“Americans should expect far more from a president than merely that he not be provably a criminal. They should expect a president to comport himself in accordance with the high duties of his office.”

“I call myself Mr. Kellyanne Conway.”

“The underlying crime in Watergate was a clumsy, third-rate burglary in an election campaign that turned out to be a landslide.”

“Among Donald Trump's many flaws as president is one that's as fundamental as any: He simply doesn't understand his job.”

“Donald Trump is like a practical joke that got out of hand.”
