"They would have these contentious conversations with him and then come back wondering who was helping him in these efforts and where are these legal theories coming from?" NYT's Katie Benner on the sense from interview transcripts that Jeff Clark was not acting independently.
"He's the central person in this saga and at some point... in the committee... before a grand jury... someplace, his testimony is going to be obtained." -Senator Whitehouse is limited in what he can say about the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing from Jeffrey Clark.
"This was a mini attempted coup d'état within the Department of Justice against the attorney general and it seems unlikely that this character Jeffrey Clark came up with this on his own." -Senator Sheldon Whitehouse sums things up. @SenWhitehouse
