Adam Schiff

He has no business being in Congress. He should have never been elected.

First of all, he has no business being in Congress. He should have never been elected. He doesn’t belong there. And, sadly, sadly, the Republican conference is now characterized by numerous kooks and dangerous cranks, which he is one.

And to me that`s a far more clear indication of criminal activity, and I think had anyone else been recorded on that call, they would be under investigation by the Justice Department by now.

I certainly hear someone who is urging a legislator from the state I guess in that case was it Michigan or Pennsylvania, seeking to overturn the election, implying they have an authority they don`t have.

We have subpoenaed records involved in communications between Giuliani and the White House. The fact that he is not in this group of subpoenas shouldn`t imply that we`re not interested in his testimony.

We hope and we urge the Justice Department also move quickly on the prosecution of Steve Bannon.

You know, while I can’t confirm the timing of his testimony, I can tell you we’ll be taking his testimony.

The law is pretty clear here that where the current president finds that the national interest outweighs an assertion of privilege and the Biden administration has made that finding, that that is the dominant determinant.

The current president who really has the dominance and executive privilege.

The whole point is delay.

Yes. We`re going to take up both bills this week and both bills will pass.

Not at all surprising he wants to block the committee from finding out about his conduct on January 6 and in the days leading up to that date.

There has been sustained effort before the election, during the election and after the election to this day to discredit the whole idea that we can still rely on elections to decide who should govern.

I think if you or I or any of my constituents were trying to subvert an election that way... they would be under investigation about an indictment by now.

The Republican Party and its infrastructure, like that institute, are now an anti-truth, anti-democratic cult of a former president.

This is how democracies come to an end when the very tools of democracy are used against democracy itself.

These are insurrectionists, in my view, wearing suits and ties, and they’re not done.

He’s obviously at the center of efforts to overturn the election.

I was surprised, you know, it`s telling about this euro when you`re surprised and delighted to get as many as nine Republicans to uphold our system of checks and balances and hold people to account when they ignore congressional subpoenas.

President Trump compromised our elections. He will do so again. Truth matters little to him. Decency matters not at all.

I think every member of our Committee is determined to go wherever the evidence lies, to Members of Congress, to the former White House -- anywhere, we need to fill up the public record and expose all of the events that led to January 6th.

I think certainly, someone that was as close to the President is as close to the President as Steve Bannon, who was organizing at the Willard Hotel efforts to persuade lawmakers to decertify the election and overturn the results.

It is this abdication of their Oath of Office that has our democracy on such fragile ground.

It is extraordinary, and it really defies the expectation of the founders, that members of the Congressional branch would defend their own institution.

The point is that the rule of law needs to be observed and it`s surprising to hear senators uh you know talk so blindly about an attack on our Capitol that resulted in the deaths of Americans, the beating of police officers, but also…
