This administration has tied themselves in knots (with) the explanations that we have received on how this is all legal

We're sticking up for the Constitution here and the rule of law and they're saying these folks should be executed for doing that

It is almost getting comical at this point.

This president thinks he can bully and intimidate people, and he is not going to, he’s not going to stop me from speaking out and holding him accountable for the things that he does that are wrong and unlawful

We’re going to put these folks under oath, and we’re going to find out what happened. And then there needs to be accountability.

Never once did I question whether those orders were legal or illegal. People can tell the difference — should be able to tell the difference between something that is unlawful and something that is lawful.

People are starting to take a look at this and saying, ‘Wow, this is just nuts that he’s going after U.S. senators and members of the House for something they said.’

from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable

If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work.

It's absurd.

The investigation against me is about intimidation.
