Special counsel Robert Mueller and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un both have spots on Time magazine’s list of the top 100 most influential people of 2018.
An accompanying blurb on Mueller for the magazine was written by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was fired by President Donald.
"To millions, the special counsel is either a political savior or berserk villain, Bharara wrote. "He is neither. He’s a by-the-book lawman who, with nothing to prove and a lifetime of service behind him, agreed to lead the most fraught, least understood, highest-stakes investigation of our time."
North Korean defector Hyeonseo Lee, wrote the words on Kim: "He’s the most dangerous person on the planet."
Here is a look at some of the others, who made Time’s list and what people said about them:
Fox News host Sean Hannity — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said: "Hannity played a major role in helping (Donald) Trump get the nomination and win the general election. Sean is both a principled conservative and a ferocious opponent of the left and the deep state. He has made and is making a difference."
Attorney General Jeff Sessions—"Don’t let his understated Southern charm deceive you," wrote Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "This dedicated leader is steadily restoring the rule of law and defending all Americans under the Constitution."
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt –Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a one-time EPA administrator, said: "If his actions continue in the same direction, during Pruitt’s term at the EPA the environment will be threatened instead of protected, and human health endangered instead of preserved, all with no long-term benefit to the economy."
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, Cameron Kasky, Jaclyn Corin, David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez and Alex Wind – Former President Barack Obama wrote: "But by bearing witness to carnage, by asking tough questions and demanding real answers, the Parkland students are shaking us out of our complacency. The NRA’s favored candidates are starting to fear they might lose. Law-abiding gun owners are starting to speak out."
Late night host Jimmy Kimmel — Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., wrote about the late-night host revealing infant son Billy was born with a congenital heart condition. Durbin recalled: "And then Jimmy looked into the camera and told all of us in Washington to get real about health insurance and make sure every baby Billy had a fighting chance."
Others who made the list include: Roseanne Barr, Nancy Pelosi, Prince Harry and Maxine Walters.
