EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “Discussion of the 25th Amendment was -- was simply Rod raised the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort. I didn't have much to contribute, to be perfectly honest, in that conversation. So I listened to what he had to say. But, to be fair, it was an unbelievably stressful time. I can't even describe for you how many things must have been coursing through the deputy attorney general's mind at that point. So it was really something that he kinda threw out in a -- in a very frenzied chaotic conversation about where we were and what we needed to do next."

AVLON: "Congressman, does invoking the 25th Amendment seem remotely appropriate to you?"
QUIGLEY: "Let’s look at the situation, and it’s pretty dramatic. The Russian investigation began as a counterintelligence investigation, because the intelligence community with great deal of certainty unanimously came to the conclusions the Russians attacked our Democratic process to help one candidate and hurt the other. The investigation that Mr. McCabe is referencing was raising questions about whether the president of the United States was compromised. This is extraordinary. So a theoretical discussion about what would happen, I would assume, if it was — if it came to the conclusion that the president was compromised, is not a surprise. The fact that it’s being discussed -- sure, it is shocking, but what we’re learning about what the president’s associates and what the president has done since he took office is extraordinary."
AVLON: "Sure."
QUIGLEY: "And I believe that discussion was merited."
