Anyone that had the audacity to speak truth to power, anybody that wouldn't carry the President false line would get fired.

The absence of those is really a danger to the country.

In a pandemic that is killing more than 1,000 Americans every day, the stakes are enormously high.

The idea being promoted by the president and his acolytes that Americans shouldn't rely on this election, that the election of Joe Biden was somehow tainted by massive fraud, which is, of course, a completely bogus claim, but undermines…

We may. You know, certainly I think you're absolutely right about the fact that this wouldn't be going on right now. This obstruction of the transition wouldn't be going on if Republicans weren't allowing it to go on.

I think you're absolutely right. It's about two things. It's about Georgia and it's about 2024. It's about Mitch McConnell not wanting to upset Donald Trump when the Senate majority may hang in a balance of Georgia.

I do expect in the new Congress that, yes, they'll continue to try to go after Joe Biden, delegitimize Joe Biden. They won't be interested in getting things done because they will feel particularly Kevin McCarthy in the House, that if we…

this is how a democracy is smothered.

I do have confidence that The Pentagon isn't going to go along with a military coup.

the transition period as being a period of real vulnerability when the nation can be unprotected if that transition doesn't go quickly, it doesn't go smoothly.

You are one of a handful of people who gets the highest intelligence that this country has access to, and there are concerns that others in the Intelligence Community have raised that this is the moment that America has to be strong.

We have new reporting tonight on Donald Trump's efforts to fire senior Pentagon leaders and install staunch loyalists in their place.

the President refuses to concede, although that is a body blow to our democracy.

the President is going to do whatever he can to cling to power. That's what autocrats do.

Thank you, Lawrence.

Bill Barr has decided that from his first stay in the Attorney General's office to his last he will be Donald Trump's personal lawyer.

The president has shown also in how he's handling this transition, something that's been abundantly clear now for years, and that is he will never act in the nation's interest if it conflicts with his own personal interest.

The goal here is the sanctity of our elections, to make sure that every American gets the vote. Their vote gets counted. It's not interfered with by foreign powers.

I think we can rely on what the director of the FBI has to say. And he didn't have much to say tonight but he does have a history of speaking truth to power, unlike so many in the current administration.

Those who work with Donald Trump and understand what a threat he poses to the country cannot in good conscious remain silent anymore.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: ``Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.'' As our Nation confronts the crisis of coronavirus, we must…

It is the most important election you are ever going to participate in.

But what the tax returns do reveal is that the president is heavily indebted. To whom he's indebted, the tax returns don't tell us. Whether he's going to be dependent on foreign powers or foreign parties, or face another bankruptcy, we…

I think the sad reality is, unless the Senate were to flip, if Donald Trump remained president, he would continue to stonewall any oversight by Congress.

It's just incomprehensible how much damage they're doing to our national security.
