Now, campaigns can (and will) make mistakes. But the same thing has happened over and over again, in other words, this evidently wasn't a mistake. This was a strategy.

I think a lot of the people that stand by Donald Trump are deplorable. And the things that they say are deplorable.

Espionage is never a laughing matter. And in fact, this is not a political issue. I don't want to get this confused with the back and forth we might have about economic issues or anything else. This is a matter of national security now. And I find it very frightening that Donald Trump is encouraging any foreign power to breach a campaign and try to influence the outcome of the election.

Vladimir Putin devastates and destroys his enemies. He's been devastating and destroying the Syrian people. And Hillary Clinton spoke out against that. She had the courage to do that.

We cannot have foreign governments interceding in our elections.

Donald Trump is having foreign leaders spend their money and our government spend their money on his properties. This is not the president of the United States helping create jobs for average Americans.

America, fortunately or unfortunately, is very polarized right now. People fall into their different camps. And people are, are concerned. And they, they want to see change.

One of the things that's very troubling to voters about Donald Trump is his erratic behavior, his lack of good temperament to serve as commander in chief.

I'm saying is that I hope that you drill in with the same detail with his [Donald Trump] team as you're drilling in with ours.

We are looking forward to Donald Trump releasing his medical information. Just making sure everybody is meeting at the same bar here.

I want to be fair here. If we're going to be talking about transparency and disclosure, Donald Trump has not released a single piece of serious information about his health.

Let's just say I am happy that she [Hillary Clinton] is getting some much needed downtime now. But she's looking forward to getting back out on the trail very soon.

One reason Obama had a lot of success in 2008 was that he represented change in many ways, i think Chasten Buttigieg represents change in many ways in a primary where voters want just that.

In the terrain of Super Tuesday it's not just winning people of color, it's dominating, no one is going to dominate women -- it's not going to happen. You might do better with college-educated folks, some candidates will skew slightly female. Where there is potential for somebody to dominate is with African Americans.

The intelligence community has access to human and signals intelligence campaigns don't, they can provide critical early warning and context. We must develop a framework for this collaboration to happen.

I think that the indictment on Friday was a good moment for everybody to take a step back back and think how our own behaviors can potentially make us unwitting accomplices in foreign operations like this.

Hillary Clinton said on the campaign trail it was a mistake to have the personal email server. I think what's, in retrospect, incredibly ironic and deeply frustrating to a lot of us is that Director Comey felt entitled to go in front of the country, unauthorized, and lecture Secretary Clinton about Hillary Clinton use when it turns out Director Comey was doing the same thing.

I was as frustrated, concerned and disappointed as anyone with Director Comey's handling of the email investigation, but President Trump just fired the man investigating how Russia meddled in our election and whether members of his campaign were involved, an investigation President Trump called 'charade' only 24 hours ago, it's equally concerning that our attorney general, who lied about his own meetings with the Russians, approved Director Comey's firing.

I don’t think it is coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention.

What's disturbing to us is that experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails and other experts are now saying that Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of helping Donald Trump.
