Don't ever leave me alone with him again.

It's fundamental to the operation of our government that the FBI be insulated from this kind of political pressure.

Yes. We have unprecedented access to intelligence documents.

I would have to say it's quite preliminary. I mean, we're interviewing witnesses.

Putin is not a Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not a Democrat.

For months the president has been dismissing the whole matter as a hoax and a fake and a witch-hunt, and those kinds of things.

Let's find out if there were tapes and if there were, let's have them.

Well, my sense is, if he recused himself, he should have recused himself and not had anything to do with that decision.

I think it's important to make this distinction. Our committee is looking at the facts of what happened and trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening again.

This isn't somebody in a powerful position. This is the president of the United States in the Oval Office with you alone.

He has a great deal of credibility, as we've heard in this hearings.

I'm concerned by the distinction between query and search and where we run into the Fourth Amendment.

I want to express my support for this important tool for our intelligence agencies.

It's your position that the special counsel's entitled to ask you questions about this, but not an oversight committee of the United States Congress?
