The name Mr. Assange has popped up, and I believe that he is one who's responsible for publishing names of individuals that work for us that put their lives in direct danger. Is that correct?

This is really a person who has put the lives of Americans in danger. He cannot be trusted for anything.

These are difficult issues, but they are of vital importance to our Nation, our security, and our democracy.

I also want to applaud President Obama's initial steps publicized last week to respond to Russia's hostile actions.

Our electoral process is the bedrock of our system of government.

We have got to develop that strategy even if it encompasses the Internet and social media.

It is a special privilege to serve on this committee, most of all because it affords us the opportunity to spend so much time in the company of heroes.

I believe the most appropriate means to conduct an inquiry is the creation of a special select committee in the Senate.
