We have an obligation for Congress, as Barbara McQuade is pointing out, quite independent of the Justice Department rather prosecutors. That is to protect our democracy and our institutions.

We will explore the role that was played by the president by his campaign, by lawyers present some of the evidence that we have accumulated to explain how that plot to pressure these legislative officials took place.

None of that was true, was it?

Mr. Secretary, was the President here asking you for exactly what he wanted--one more vote than his opponent?

the overriding objective what`s to tell the public the story of one of the lines of effort to over during the election, one of the multiple ways in which the president sought to prevent the peaceful transfer of power was to pressure his…

the idea that a Supreme Court justice would rule, presume to rule in a case in which the issue is whether congress should see documents that might reveal his own spouse`s communications on the subject, it just screams conflict of interest

the evidence continues to mount that Donald Trump not only lost the election, nearly lost, lied about it, continued lying about it, raise money off those lies. And those lies have continued to put our country at grave risk.

This is a president who would basically fire people when they wouldn`t follow his corrupt instructions.

The Justice Department they need to be doing their own investigation.

Well, Lawrence, that`s right. And I remember at the time that the attorney general said that he was going to look into these allegations, having serious questions about whether the party was doing this only because the president wanted the…

The Justice Department, they need to be doing their own investigation. They clearly are investigating many of the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, then those who organized or funded them. But as our committee has been…

Donald Trump won't stop insisting that 2020 was stolen, even though he has offered no proof that that is true.

Nobody gets a pass, nobody should get a pass if the rule of law applies equally to everyone.

I think that any credible evidence that the President of the United States, the former President was engaged in criminal activity, or anybody else, for that matter, needs to be investigated.

I don't know how you could cherry pick when your own Attorney General says you're full of BS, essentially.

He thought that, you know, the Vice President may have had it coming.

This was willful on his part. He knew he lost, he was told that he lost.

He repeats a lot of the claims that were debunked long ago, and you played a nice montage of all the people talking about how -- you know, how much BS that was, well, the BS goes on and it goes on to great length.

Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on January 6th, and he is still doing it.

The public hasn’t seen it woven together, how one thing led to another, how one line of effort to overturn the election, led to another and ultimately led to terrible violence.

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

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

Is this one of the phenomena that we can't explain?

The scandal is that if he wouldn’t lie he couldn’t occupy Republican leadership. You have to be willing to lie about something as fundamental to our democracy as whether the last election was legitimate, if you want to be part of GOP…

We have a solemn responsibility to investigate fully the facts and circumstances of the violent attack on the United States Capitol and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power.
