It seems like there`s practical considerations there as well, though, the committee presumably wants to move fast and have the report out before the election in November.

I do agree certainly with the judge in California, Judge Carter, that there is compelling evidence that the president of the United States and others engaged with very possible criminal activity to obstruct Congress, to defraud the United…

None of what is being revealed here is disqualifying in today’s Republican Party. The only thing that disqualifies you from today’s Republican Party is not going along with the insurrection.

Members of Congress had suggested that the president used martial law and overturn the election. I can’t imagine a more flagrant violation under sworn oath to defend the Constitution.

It doesn`t appear that`s at all what they have in mind.

One of the things that this chapter of our history has revealed... power revealed Liz Cheney to be a person of great courage and conviction.

Kevin McCarthy talks to his Republican colleagues after this attack on the Capitol. He acknowledges the president bears responsibility.

It looks like we`re getting a real sense of what her testimony would look and sound like. And there would be a considerable failure of recollection on some very key things.

These people have relevant information about the first effort in our history to stop the peaceful transfer of power. And they ought to do their duty.

The Department of Justice has a duty to act on this referral and others we have.

Well, at least he`s consistent -- consistently immoral and unpatriotic, to be appealing to Putin at a time when Russia is killing Ukrainians, once again for dirt on his opponents, it just once again shocks the conscience. But look, he…

If a federal judge is saying that there is, you know, proof that more likely than not Donald Trump engaged in a crime of trying to overturn the election and that is well substantiated by his opinion, that is a pretty sufficient basis for…

I will feel, frankly, better about whether the department is doing everything it should, though, when I see signs that are looking beyond the attack of the 6th, at some of these other multiple lines of effort to overturn the election.

It is significant. And frankly, I think it`s long overdue.

But they also need to look at these multiple lines of effort to overturn the election. And they need to look at anyone who was involved, no one gets a pass, you know a former president and not someone who never held office before.

Both of them simply failed to appear. And that makes it very easy for the Justice Department. There’s no right, no privilege that simply allows you to say I ain’t -- I’m not even going to bother to show up to claim privilege. It didn’t fly…

The public interest in avoiding another January 6 is paramount to any other consideration.

Our committee has a singular purpose to ensure that our nation never again experiences the violence of January 6, that there is never again an effort to overturn a presidential election or to interfere with a peaceful transfer of power.

I have felt I think for many years now that there needs to be a code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

I think it’s a patriotic duty for them to come in.

There is evidence that the president may have engaged in crime or fraud against the United States.

It is simple for the Justice Department. They refused to show up. You cannot just say, I am not going to bother to come.

It makes us into kind of a play thing for a despotic president.

The Department of Justice has a duty to act on this referral and others we have sent without enforcement of congressional subpoenas there is no oversight.

The American people didn`t pay their salaries to do that.
