This investigation is important because it’s happening now and it shows when there is an honor system, when there’s a rule of law, that you can find the truth and hold people accountable, which is the opposite of a cronyism, corrupt system…
It’s clear that this investigation is beginning to surface as they would call it. Meaning, you know, through a subpoena like this, they are showing progress. They are seeking to prove a conspiracy by linking co-conspirators to their…
And look, we know that this crime started at the very top when Donald Trump propagated the big lie, aimed a mob at the Capitol, and then had others lined in cover up for him so it would be very fitting if that’s what the prosecution ended…
I promise you, these guys, they learned their lesson once when they transferred power. It was not a peaceful transition, it was a violent transition. And their aim -- the Trump, the MAGA Republican aim, is to never again have to transfer…
We know there currently are over 17,000 pending clemency petitions stuck in that backlog.
I joined Congresswoman Pressley and two of our Republican colleagues, Representatives Joyce and Armstrong, in a letter to the Pardon Attorney requesting disaggregated demographic data on the clemency application backlog.
It's a decision for our family that we don't want the government to be a part of at all.
These guys do not belong at the kitchen table of any woman in American as she makes this very personal decision.

We are already in a position now where they would not allow another peaceful transition of power.
If they don`t want to cooperate, then we`re going to have to press them with legal subpoena.
Shouldn`t their oath have been enough, Chris? Every citizen`s responsibility when they witness a crime is to cooperate with authorities. This is the greatest crime against the Constitution we`ve ever seen, the most amount of arrests ever…
They`re going to do that anyway. And I told January 6 Committee members before this decision was made was that I hope you don`t believe you`re protecting me or Mr. Schiff or Miss Omar by not doing the right thing here because you don`t…
We have no intention of losing the midterms. We have delivered. They have divided.
The fear is that they are putting in place the building blocks to ensure that a Democrat would never win at the highest office again.
They talk such a big game all the time, and then, when they`re caught, literally on audio or text message, they shrink?
I think you have seen over the past few days that my Republican colleagues have zero interest in border security.
These guys, Kevin McCarthy's crew, they blocked it from a getting a vote in Congress.
I think that Dmitri Alperovitch, a thought leader in cyber security and other domains, said it very aptly.
