We didn't have right leadership,. If it were me, I would've had that war done in 3 months. 4 months."
Trump: "The US will be hitting Iran VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly."

AUSA Sheri Mecklenburg: "I would never ask you to charge somebody if I didn't think there was probable cause … I don't charge people unless I'm absolutely sure."
Mecklenburg continued: "He had to balance it. And this is not testimony now, but I would argue he did a pretty good job of balancing it because nobody got hurt."
