I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

The realization that we've been locked at home for seven weeks merely to get to a point of treading water - and that we don't have any national plan to do better than that - is just maddening. Just a historic failure of leadership.
