If we lose our democracy, we won’t be able to deal with any of that.

We’re also working on that. And Liz Cheney, and I have just about finished our work on our proposal for the Electoral Count Act, so that people intend on overturning our democracy will have a harder time with their mischief in the future.

I think what is particularly interesting about what you are mentioning is Trump`s own view of the materials because that puts him right in the middle of this.

There is no reason why the Fulton County district attorney`s office should be so far out ahead of the Justice Department in its investigation of their former presidents efforts to overturn the election in Georgia.

I am encouraged by the steps that we are willing to take, with respect to the documents at Mar-a-Lago, which, among having some of those highly classified markings on them, pose a real danger for national security, should they fall into…

Well, yes. I mean, he certainly had that expectation during his presidency because that is exactly how the department of justice was run.

But yes, Trump felt immune, and to some degree, may still feel immune, as long as he is a political (AUDIO GAP) as long as he is in the mix, I think it`s one of the motivations he has to once again run for the presidency, which is, to stay…

The National Archives showed remarkable patience for an individual who is not worthy of patience.

He deserves no benefit of the doubt that he wouldn’t try and do this again.

We have every reason to be worried, Lawrence, that we would not see a peaceful transition of power on January 20th. Those 14 days were terrifying.

The reason that they`re marked top secret means that it often relates to force protection for our troops.

We do need a full accounting of one, most importantly, what documents did Donald Trump have that were top secret compartmentalized.

No, I’m very concerned that my Republican colleagues have showed themselves that if they’re given classified information, they will use it to protect -- they’ll manipulate what it is or they’ll pervert the information to protect Donald…

Merrick Garland Chris is not going to be threatened. That’s clearly the case here. This is a position it’s also clear he does not want to be in. But you know, the days of Donald Trump, you know, throwing his weight around or threatening…

What has struck me about this story from the beginning... is the degree to which evidence seems to be coming forward of willfulness.

It`s staggering for all the reasons that you mentioned, just the sheer volume of classified documents. It`s not like there was a classified paper mixed in with a bunch of unrelated information. It seems that it must be quite deliberate if…

The request I made so far is for a damage assessment by the intelligence community. It`s something they traditionally due to determine if this material is compromised, if it did get in the wrong hands, what is the damage, and how do we…

You have a former president who is literally willing to pull the whole house down around him if he feels threatened.
