I appreciate what the Giffords Group is doing--but my proposal is this, that if it is dangerous in the future it is dangerous now.

Would you agree when you put a pistol grip on a long rifle where the round already has high velocity, high energy, you can take the least skilled shooter and they can indiscriminately spray a crowd and a would like the one that you had to…

I hear you and I agree with you as far as the National Firearms Act and making sure that they are registered.

Can we stop the clock again for this obstructive behavior?

Mr. Lewandowski, that's not an answer.

I would hope that we can find a way... to see if there has been an increase in those seeking counseling.

So what is CBP doing, now that we know that this is something that could occur, to reduce the likelihood that CBP would detain a U.S. citizen?

I can just imagine with the conditions that I have seen, not only the toll it is taking on the immigrants who are being detained, the children who are being separated, but also the CBP officers who live and see this every day.

I believe that families should not be separated, that there are families in the United States who are related to many of these individuals and that is the best place for them to go.

I believe that this is almost primarily a mess of the President's making.

Your work has been substantive and fair. The work has laid the critical foundation for our investigation, and for that, I thank you.

Thank you for your service going all the way back to the sixties when you courageously served in Vietnam.

The Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting President of wrongdoing

We have an opportunity today to condemn or condone. Birtherism is racist. Saying a Mexican judge cannot be fair because of his heritage is racist. Saying immigrants from Mexico are rapists is racist. Telling four Members of this body to go…

I will withdraw an offensive word. Madam Speaker, may I have an additional 30 seconds?

We have an opportunity today to condemn or condone. Birtherism is racist. Saying a Mexican judge can't be fair because of his heritage is racist. Saying immigrants from Mexico are rapists is racist. Saying there were good people on both…

An impeachment inquiry would not prohibit the inquiring body from looking at financial compromise.

It's important to, again, I think as part of your authorities, to examine what happened, to see if in fact the laws were too weak.

There were multiple contacts with Trump campaign officials that there were indictments, there were prosecutions.

Obstruction of justice, certainly under the Nixon hearings, was important enough to be the very first article of impeachment.

A fair reading of Volume I of the report would be that the Trump campaign knew about the Russian interference, welcomed it, embraced it, gave them internal information, and knew it was going to help Donald Trump win the election.

I am sorry that it is something our government was responsible for. And Mitch McConnell may be right that no one alive is responsible for what happened then, but everyone alive is responsible to do something now.

I am a proud cosponsor of H.R. 40.

If anyone other than a sitting President committed this conduct that person would be charged with crimes.

The conduct described in the report constitutes multiple crimes of obstruction of justice.
