Donald Trump made a purposeful choice to violate his oath of office.

We the people must demand more of our politicians and ourselves. Oaths matter. Character matters. Truth matters.

I want you to just think of what you would have done if you were in his shoes and had the power to end the violence.

Can a President who is willing to make the choices Donald Trump made during the violence of January 6th ever be trusted?

Donald Trump's conduct on January 6th was a supreme violation of his oath of office and a complete dereliction of his duty to our Nation.

He needed to agree that he would peacefully transfer power over to the incoming administration because that's one of our fundamentals in what it means to live in a democracy.

Within minutes of stepping off the Ellipse stage, Donald Trump knew about the violent attack on the Capitol.

President Trump could have gone to the Press Briefing Room to issue a statement at any moment.

I think it's incumbent upon us to put their minds at ease, to put our own hearts at ease by investigating what happened on the 6th and making sure that it never happens again.

Look, I've always said democracies are not defined by bad days; they're defined by how they recover from those bad days.

There was no evidence of fraud or irregularities sufficient to change the election outcome.

For 3 hours, he refused to call off the attack.

Let it never be said that the dedication of those who love freedom is less than the determination of those who would destroy it.

I think it was very misleading in seeing that no records relevant were destroyed, but acknowledging records were destroyed, if they were destroyed, how did they know they were not pertinent text messages?

I am confident, Lawrence, we will get to the bottom of what happened. I am less confident we will ever see those text messages, tragically.

I think in the next hearing, you will hear a combination of live testimony, you`ll hear part of a video testimony that you haven`t seen before.

I have to say that statement that we saw from the Secret Service that basically there were messages lost, but none of them pertained to what we`re investigating, I don`t know how if they`re lost you can draw that conclusion with such…

Donald Trump believes among other things that running for president is lucrative, but it also may help them stay one step ahead of the jail.

Yes, we`re glad that Bill Barr finally found a line he wouldn`t cross, but he crossed a lot of lines before he got there.

It does, and I think you know again raise the question of why the Justice Department was so slow to pursue these other lines of effort to overturn the election.

We are far from wrapping up our work. The investigation goes on and we might have had some anticipation that we would be closer to the end of the investigation by now.

Did text messages disappear? We are seeing conflicting information from the agencies.

I certainly think that the Justice Department has more than enough evidence to begin an investigation involving the former president.

We are investigating this issue that this, did text messages disappeared? If they did, why did they disappear? Was this some kind of a technical mistake or was this deliberate? And we are seeing conflicting information from the agencies…

I sent, along with three of my fellow chairs, a preservation letter to the Department of Homeland Security that has jurisdiction over the Secret Service days after January 6 telling them preserve all the records. And, if they haven`t, we…
