And we have a Republican Party that no longer believes in voting. They believe in violence. They don’t condone democracy anymore.

Accountability prevailed again, Lawrence, and we`re seeing that with Steve Bannon. We`re seeing it with Donald Trump in the courts and we`re seeing it in the House of Representatives.

Paul Gosar as John mentioned, he represents chaos and Americans detest chaos. Americans like law and order, and if we have a country led by those who are unleashing chaos, then we are lost and so that`s why it was important today to say…

And now, again, there`s a sheriff in town that says the rule of law matters.

This isn’t about red team versus blue team. This is about whether the rule of law matters anymore and whether people around the former president are above the law or if they have to follow the same laws that you and I have to follow.

There’s a new sheriff in town, frankly, Jonathan and that the rule of law matters again in America.

These guys Donald Trump, Steve Bannon Mark Meadows, they have run rampant for the last four years and a land of no laws where they were essentially above the law. They were pirates in international waters. And now they`re coming to find…

We have the midterms coming up and the Republicans have shown themselves as a party that is more comfortable with violence than voting.

We have to keep sending the refusals to the Department of Justice, Lawrence, because the day we stop doing that, is the day that witnesses like Mark Meadows will defy our ability to get to the truth.

I believe it should come, hopefully, others who are holding out and waiting will start coming in.

But we now see Republicans believing that people not only have a right to go to the school board, but they have a right to go there and incite and threaten violence against people making decisions about our kids’ education.

Imagine wanting to own the libs so bad, Joy, that you would defend the Nazi salute to a Jewish attorney general. I mean, that’s where they are right now.

He should resign if he does not agree with what they’re doing, Joy, because, right now, as Tucker Carlson makes a tribute video for the terrorists, celebrates the cop killers, the message that is received by the people watching is, if we…

He is a legal terrorist, as we would call him on the impeachment team. We offered for him to come and testify in impeachment number two, and if you recall, he refused that offer and we believe that showed a consciousness of guilt.

This is a party that has chosen violence over voting, grievances over governing, and lies over leading, and we cannot expose that enough.

Executive power does, it turns out, has some boundaries, meaning that when you help incite, assemble a mob and aim that mob at the Capitol to essentially overthrow the government, that that`s going a little bit too far.

Should that decision be made only after an investigation takes place rather than deciding beforehand a general principle of we are not going to investigate a former President at all?

In the beginning you referenced the January 6 prosecutions and just on behalf of my law enforcement family and the law enforcement officers who work in this building I want to thank you for continuing to pursue those investigations and…

I am wondering would you commit to revisiting that principle, whether or not a President while sitting should be indicted?

General Garland, you may not get these four hours back, but you may get some art history credit for today.

Today as we sit here in this room in dozens of courtrooms across America your prosecutors have that right if a witness under a lawful subpoena does not come in to ask for a warrant for that witness' arrest?

the enemy truly is within. The enemy is in the House of Representatives right now.

they need to act on new enforcement authority. They need give themselves the tools to enforce their oversight in real-time.

Right now, it's frustrating, Joy, but the best constraint on Donald Trump is the law. And the law moves not nearly at the pace of Trump's corruption. That's what's so frustrating.

What happens if Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker and the January 6 issues are not resolved? Well, first and foremost, Congressional Gold Medals will be given to the cop killers of January 6. I promise you that.
