On the recordDecember 19, 2018
Mr. President, to conclude, I thank my colleagues for their kind words. I thank them for taking their jobs seriously and that they would continue to do this. I say to our President: This is not a witch hunt. Russia attempted to interfere in our elections, and they will continue to make that attempt. We are seeking truth here, and that is what the special counsel is doing, and he needs to be protected. We need to be better prepared for future elections. That is what this is about. As the Senator from New Jersey just said, this is based on the principle that no one--no one, however high and mighty, whatever position they hold--is above the law. With that, I yield back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader. ____________________
