Based on the information that’s been produced to me and Senator Johnson, Biden DOJ and FBI investigators apparently ignored their own routine investigative protocols to obtain and review work-related messages from me and dozens of my…

Joe Biden’s DOJ not only tapped my phone; I just learned they illegally obtained my texts with members of President Trump’s administration," the Missourian fumed.

I hope Democrats caught up in the otherwise bipartisan text tranche will finally discard their partisanship and recognize the severity of the alleged violations by Smith," Grassley added.

This is a grotesque example of Biden-era weaponization of the executive branch," Johnson said.

I think the biggest mistake is that we're basically sleepwalking through this competition. I mean, every day the leaders of China get up, and they try to figure out how to beat America, how to destabilize our country, how to get an…

Well, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. I've certainly rolled out a number of plans that would have some pretty substantial reforms to our entitlement programs.

The other thing we have to acknowledge is one party's not going to get this done. And I know that's hard for Republicans to hear because so many Republican office holders have sold the American people a bill of goods that this can be done…

Well, I think an absolute onslaught of negative ads the last three or four weeks against me, they really worked. Told people I was a career politician, that I was a RINO, that I was a liberal, and we saw in the polling that that was…

I don't really know yet, but I do know that I'm surely not ready to retire. I'm 50, but I feel like a real young 50, and I'm still filled with plenty of piss and vinegar. Let's go get it done.

The absence of knowing where this money is coming from to do this dramatic top-line increase? That still has to get resolved.

We need to deliver on codifying border security, deal with the birthright citizenship issue.

I look forward to confirming Mr. Blanche as Attorney General so he can continue his great work to crack down on crime, eradicate the two tiers of justice, and wipe out fraud. That’s exactly what Lindsey would’ve wanted us to do to honor…

He's got a record. It's not what he says. It's what he's done and what he's consistently done is put Donald Trump above everything else. So his actions, this is a person who's got a very clear record.

Acting AG Todd Blanche has spent this confirmation fight doing what he's always done for his client Donald Trump: Denying the obvious, defending the indefensible, and lying under oath. He's already made it clear that we can’t trust a word…

I am going to be working on our behalf. I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf. And you better believe I’m going to bring it with a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy and a little bit of stick-it-to-them.
