A strong democracy should not be a partisan issue. Americans must have faith in their democracy and it is up to Democrats and Republicans to restore integrity and legitimacy to our institutions.

Yet, we know that many states continue to erect barriers to voting and that is why we enthusiastically support H.R. 1.

this bill will return power to the people and restore our democracy. It will help us clean up the culture of corruption in Washington and focus on making sure our government works for the people of this country.

it is so important that we pass H.R. 1, which will repair our democracy by restoring real power to the people of this country and away from the special interests and powerful corporations.

So I think we have an opportunity in this bill, the 'For the People Act,' to empower everyday voices.

Might I say I witnessed firsthand voter suppression in the state of Georgia, having come through those very elections in November.

To me, it's because they want to protect the underlying questions which is, did the President have knowledge of what the Russians were doing? Was he seeking business deals while he was running for President? And did he obstruct and try and…

I think he is intending to keep Michael Cohen from coming in. At this point, I think because we are waiting for the Mueller report, we're doing our own investigations with respect to obstruction of justice and collusion, I don't think we…

We want to find out if the President is financially compromised by the Russians through lending, you know, lending from Deutsche Bank and money laundering that the Russians may have engaged in.

The urgent concern, Anderson, is that today as we speak our President is still working with the Russians.

We have no way to obtain the physical evidence now other than getting it from Donald Trump, someone who has been wholly uncooperative.

I don't trust Donald Trump to turn them over.

It was fishy then, the fact that he met one-on-one with Putin with only an interpreter in the room the way that he blamed the United States and took Putin's side at that press conference.

the urgent concern, Anderson, is that today as we speak our President is still working with the Russians.

I don't, because he took two days of heat of people saying who would not be able to deny it if they were confronted with it.

This evening, the question has shifted from whether the President is working with the Russians to what evidence exists that the President is not working with the Russians.

I hope he does it because I don't think any person is above the law and you can't allow the President to dictate the term.

This president, Anderson, may be impeached. But we're certainly not there with the evidence.

Well, it will be for a balance of power on many abuses of power we've seen in the past. But we can't miss the opportunity to do what they sent us here, which is to collaborate on infrastructure, passing the Dream Act, having background…

Mitch McConnell, by not allowing [the legislation] to come forward, is suppressing the will of the majority of his members.

But I think the bigger picture here is that you are now seeing more evidence than ever that Donald Trump was associated with a criminal campaign, a criminal transition, and presides today very likely over a criminal presidency.

I think that shows propensity evidence for what I think he's going to be on the hook for, for issues that actually matter to the American people.

It shouldn't happen, and it would be breaking one of the, I would say, fundamental promises that Donald Trump made during the campaign, that he was going to drain the swamp and breaking that promise on day one, you know, the inauguration…

I have an open mind to Mr. Barr.

If Matt Whitaker is the acting attorney general, and we've had conflicting reports about who is overseeing the Russia investigation, if he's the acting attorney general, he's overseeing the Russia investigation.
