Ashcroft: "We've lost the idea of grace in politics. None of us are perfect, none of us know everything. We need to get back to the standpoint where we can disagree without being an evil, devil incarnate."

Van Hollen on North Korea: "As a result of the president's approach, you've actually seen a reduction in pressure on North Korea...and as North Korea gets a little bit of relief from sanctions, they continue to enrich nuclear material."

Van Hollen: "The Kavanaugh hearings probably catalyzed both Republicans and Democrats. In red states, the pool of undecided voters begins to close as you get closer to election day. Did it accelerate some of that closing? Maybe."

Former Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco, when asked if she agrees with Newt Gingrich that yesterday's mail bombs amount to attempted murder: "Absolutely."

Monaco on election security: "I think we're safer, but we are not safe. That's a determination I used to give when people used to ask about the terrorist threat. We're more aware of the cybersecurity threat and information operations, but we also have tremendous gaps."

Monaco on what we should know about Robert Mueller, her former boss: "He's going to follow the facts wherever they lead, without fear or favor. He's going to do so unintimidated by criticism or threats." "He's got one speed. It is relentless."

@newtgingrich...no one “earns” it. The President of the UNITED States must be held to higher standards. President Bush’s statement means that power can corrupt, and presidents evolve in better ways because of the media. ALL Presidents have to be held accountable.pic.twitter.com/z596QKzmLX
