I think this revelation shows how premature and irresponsible it was that we ended our investigation.

So, the question now moves, Mr. President, are you willing to go to Bob Mueller, raise your right hand and go under oath and answer questions as it relates to your involvement with the Russians.

I actually right after the 2016 legislation wrote bipartisan legislation to have an independent investigation. I foresaw then that this was going to become too hot for Congress and that we should put these issues in the hands of elders and…

I think Bob Mueller did the right thing by taking him off the team. That's what you would want him to do.

It was in this Chamber in 1941 that Franklin Roosevelt told the world that every man, woman, and child in the world should be guaranteed four freedoms: the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from fear, and the freedom…

Now more than ever, we need an independent, bipartisan commission to fully investigate Russia's interference in the election.

This is maddening. I don't know if my colleagues are checking their voice mails or checking your emails or checking your Twitter feed; people aren't talking about the God-damned emails.

the only thing they care about right now is that the United States that they know is no longer a compassionate one.

This is important. People should be held accountable for inappropriate behavior... but our responsibility is to act on behalf of the American people, and we're not helpless.

I would ask Chairman Goodlatte, please interrupt me if you intend when we conclude today to hold a hearing on how we're going prevent future families from being separated and reunite those who have already been torn apart.

Do you agree, yes or no, that Hillary Clinton committed no crimes?

Let's work on that, Mr. Meadows, because my constituents, and I think all of our constituents want to make sure that we show compassion, that we show heart, and that Congress acts.

For him this is just a public relations campaign to try to undermine the special counsel's work, but for the country, what we're seeing is that democracy is under assault from two fronts now.

how many times does the President have to deceive the American people before Speaker Ryan says enough is enough, the rule of law is more important than one President?

I think it is trying to throw their weight around. And yes, I do think it is an effort to try to and bully the Department of Justice.

the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice Trumps -- any person's interest in a case

we never believe that there should be any meeting at all because essentially by having this meeting you are allowing a subject of a criminal investigation to reach into the evidence locker at the FBI and to see some of the evidence that…

that shows the corrupting influence of money, Trumping national security priorities

I firmly believe that addressing oil consumption, rather than oil production, is critical to ensuring America's energy independence.

Every tree in the Trump forest went shaken, has a Russian falling out of it.

Perception can be just as worst, is the reality.

There's a number of different events that have now come up with this President that are worthy of investigating from his tax returns to potentially cashing in on the Oval Office with his properties and his family.

He should I think see this as an opportunity to engage Congress and start to put in, you know, some laws that could get rid of dirty money in politics.

It certainly doesn't look like it's illegal, it certainly questionable and then worth, you know, probing to see just exactly what is going on here.

The best thing that the President can do with his lawyer being so closely tied to this oligarch, is to just open up the books, show the American people that there is either nothing there or that there's a lot that we should be concerned…
