Dianne Feinstein

We have held up our end of the bargain. Since that time, this subcommittee has appropriated $55 billion for weapons.

I look at the fact that to do nothing is to take on a horrendous additional cost that is really not necessary to do.

I had the privilege, along with Senator Kyl, of going to Geneva when the Russian military was there on the agreement that we just approved a short time ago--I just got a block in my mind--with Russia, the last agreement, the New START…

But 2 years is enough.

As elected officials of a co-equal branch of government, we have constitutional authority to conduct oversight of the executive branch.

I think it is going to be extraordinary.

I heard a Congressman this morning expressing that point of view.

And what you have said is you would not assent under the present situation---- Because there is no cause.

I do believe it would be catastrophic, and I do believe it would destroy any shred of trust in the President's judgment that remains over here.

So I think those two things are key. And it's why Dianne Feinstein has really taken this a little bit more aggressively.

Hey, look, we need a separate investigation into obstruction of justice.

Feinstein, who's the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has asked to launch an investigation in that committee specifically on the issue of obstruction of justice.

But I'll say this, if the new nominee wants to pledge loyalty to the president and won't maintain the kind of independence that has been the hallmark of the FBI, I certainly won't vote for him when he comes before us.

Not at all. Not at all. I actually tend to believe Comey. And I think all of this could have been avoided and the tragedy is that the United States government and the people -- the 30,000 employees of the FBI lost a good leader over this…

Well, my key takeaway was the FBI has lost a very good man and a very good leader. I think it's pretty clear he refused to lay off of the Flynn investigation. He refused to raise the cloud or stop the Russia investigation. And he refused…

California has the ability to set its own vehicle emissions standards.

Because of the privacy concerns, it's my belief there should be a sunset.

Let me just tell you, I just listened to somebody who should have known better talking about unmasking in a political sense.

It's a program that I support. It's a program that I believe has worked well.

Well, maybe take this, and if you could, make your findings available to us.

I want to do everything I can to see that this decommissioning is without a hitch.

I understand they are moving ahead with expanding their dry spent fuel storage area, and their plans include demolishing the reactor buildings on an expedited timeframe, potentially concluding work in 2027.

What are the biggest risks, in your view, to completing the decommissioning process in a safe and timely manner?

Would you confirm that the NRC will continue to inspect the site and oversee the decommissioning program to ensure safety?

Yes, because my understanding is that you have to have, to be cost--to be economic, you're going to have to group five of them together.
