I want to work with both of you, not just in public hearings, but also privately, to make sure that Congress is doing everything it can do to enable you to fulfill your missions.

And when you have communities among our American family that do not have confidence in the justice system, it is all of our problems.

Well, right now, we are seeing that these deep personal, political and financial ties of Donald Trump's campaign team were converging at the same time that Russia's interference took place.

So far, there's still zero evidence that the president was wiretapped or that President Obama ordered him be surveilled.

I think it's a compromised investigation right now with him still leading it, but that's why I'm calling for an independent commission.

I've seen zero evidence, and Donald Trump can actually declassify, if there is evidence. And I believe the fact he has not shows she did nothing wrong.

Confidence in the justice system is the most compelling national interest we could possibly have.

We have to have a justice system that people respect.

Bill Nettles was the United States attorney in South Carolina. He was appointed by President Obama, so politically, we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

I appreciate the line of work that you all have chosen to go into, and make sure that the women and men that work in your agencies know how grateful we are.

Just the perception of a conflict of interest can be as bad as a conflict of interest. That's why I think the responsible thing to do for the chairman is to step aside.

If we are going to have that independence and credibility and make progress, we need to not be working with the White House where the president's campaign right now is under federal, criminal and counterintelligence investigations.

But, generally, innocent people are not seeking immunity. And so, I would want to know what is he afraid of that could come out and what could he tell us that we don't already know?

We have to stay above politics, because I'm home right now for the weekend and my constituents are asking me, what are you doing to make sure we find out whether any U.S. persons participated in Russia's interference campaign?

Right now we don't know enough. And generally you don't give immunity to innocent people. So as far as I'm concerned, I want to know why he is seeking immunity and what he could tell us that would illuminate the ties that we suspect are…

There is still time for Republicans and Democrats in this House to unite. There is still time for us to uphold that solemn duty to ensure that we always put our public safety and our sacred democracy first. The best way to do that is to…

I think that this White House, its behavior, is consistent with trying to cover-up something that happened.

It just isn't adding up.

I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, Russia attacked our democracy this past election. I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question and for all of us to get to the business of forming an…

The fact that he canceled a hearing for no reason, the fact that he went over to the White House, two days, you know, on Tuesday and Wednesday, both days after the public hearing -- to me, it just looks like there's a conflict of interest.

It feels like all of that work is in jeopardy because we have a chairman who seems more loyal to the White House right now than the investigation we're charged with doing.

Chairman Nunes at this point has shown that he's too close to the White House for us to have an independent, credible investigation that makes progress. That's why, Anderson, I think it's time for him to step away. Our country was attacked…

In fact, studies have shown that these sanctuary cities are actually safer and more prosperous than their non-sanctuary counterparts.

Finally, under the guise of enforcing the law, we have already witnessed Donald Trump and his administration follow through on divisive campaign rhetoric with actions that threaten our core American values and will do nothing to make us…

Over 600 counties and cities have made the decision to resist the administration's efforts to conscript their local officials into a mass deportation force because experience in data show that local enforcement of Federal immigration law…
