If these Republican members hadn`t joined the president in falsely attacking me for four years, I wouldn`t need to be worried about my security, none of us would.

The Republican Party has turned into an autocratic cult of the former president. It is no longer wedded to even the idea of democracy.

We had an attorney general in Bill Barr that was interested in turning the DOJ into Donald Trump`s criminal defense law firm. But now we have an independent Justice Department with an attorney general who doesn`t believe anyone should be…

Well, we`ll take up this report on Tuesday night we`ll vote it out to the House. The House will then vote to hold him in criminal contempt. And once that takes place, the Speaker will send that to the Justice Department. And then, the…

I do think though, as time goes by, and it will become increasingly clear, as we gain more perspective, on the last four years, Americans will come to realize what a disastrous presidency Donald Trump`s was, how many people needlessly lost…

We will move to hold them in criminal contempt. So, our committee will produce a report about the efforts that were made to get them to testify. We will submit that report and we will call for a vote on the House floor. That will send it…

We need the administration again to make it clear they’re not going to let these witnesses hide behind privilege. And at the end of the day, if the witnesses continued to stonewall, we need the Justice Department to reinforce through…

I think that Steve Bannon has been pretty public about his unwillingness to cooperate in any way and from my point of view, it`s not up to him. He is required to show up. He`s required to testify, and if he doesn`t and doesn`t have a…

The reason we couldn't do this in the past is because we had Bill Barr and the Trump D.O.J. Well, now we have a new person.

We're not willing to allow them to play rope-a-dope in the civil courts that way. That's why we're going to go straight to criminal contempt and expect the Justice Department unlike the last one to uphold the principle that no one is above…

We are of one mind. Anyone who does not comply, we will refer for criminal prosecution and there needs to be accountability.

He is required to show up he is required to testify and if he doesn`t, and doesn`t have a reason, a legal reason to profit which he doesn`t, then we will hold him in criminal contempt. And we will refer that to the Justice Department for…

Disaster, because he will do anything that Donald Trump tells him. And we cannot have someone with absolutely no reverence for the truth, no willingness to uphold his oath, in that position in line to the presidency.

It`s not Donald Trump`s Justice Department anymore. It`s the Justice Department that believes it serves the public interest, not the interest of the person of the president.

We intend to act very quickly, with uncooperative witnesses.

It turns out they only believe in the maintenance of their own position and power. That is where power has revealed, in these last four years.

I think what that means is a couple of things. One is people have speculated well could Donald Trump actually be the speaker, because you don`t need to be in Congress to be speaker, the reality is, he would need to be the speaker, because…

The man who warned us, in the first Trump impeachment trial, that Donald Trump would do it again, has a new warning for us. Republican legislatures, all across the country have continued Trump`s big lie about massive voter fraud initiating…

No Constitution can protect us. Right does not matter anymore. You know, you can`t trust this president do what`s right for this country. You can trust he`ll do what`s right for Donald Trump. He`ll do it now. He`s done it before. He`ll do…

We're not messing around. If people don't show up, if people don't provide the documents they're compelled to, we intend to take up criminal contempt and refer to the Justice Department and we expect that it will be prosecuted that unlike…

It is only human agency, the willingness of individual people to be brave and speak truth to power and bear the consequences of it. That is the only thing that will get us out of what remains an existential danger to us as a democracy.

That story, the story of how good people were persuaded to abandon their beliefs and ideology, their dedication to something larger than themselves and their ambition, came to embrace an ugly Nativism that their party had long held at bay…

First things first -- what exactly did the Trump campaign do in the 2016 election and what was its relationship with Russia and its agents?

This book will stand as the touchstone of truth against any attempts to distort or rewrite this crucial piece of history.

Power doesn’t corrupt as much as it reveals.
