Let me be clear: Attorney General Sessions should not substitute his judgement for that of law enforcement in local jurisdictions, who know what it is best to keep their community safe.

The Attorney General purports to place a high priority on fighting crime, but threatens to withhold much-needed Justice Department funding from the very agencies that are on the front line in protecting all of us.

I think this is just another smoke bomb that they're rolling into this investigation to prevent us from making progress.

Three hearings this week cancelled. We're supposed to have just a regular order meeting tonight, cancelled. One on Thursday, cancelled. And we're supposed to have on tomorrow, an open hearing, and he said that we should have the closed…

Where did he receive this information? From our knowledge, no one on his staff and no other members were a part of this, so that meant it had to be outside of the Capitol. So did he go to another agency and does that mean that the White…

I do. We were working together. We were going down an investigative road together and we made progress. Last week, of course, we had our open hearing. FBI director confirmed a lot of our concerns. The chairman exited that road to work with…

If they are a convergence of personal, political and financial ties with Russia's interference campaign, people should be held accountable.

The White House is not an internet cafe where you can walk in and receive classified information.

I don't think it's legitimate because the witnesses were already to go. They sent over their testimony. And, you know, the American people I think felt they were finally let in last week and they wanted to learn more about what Russia did…

Let me be clear: I do not condone the leaks of classified information to the press, but the President has gone out of his way to intimidate virtually any individual hoping to expose misconduct in the Trump administration.

We know that the White House Chief of Staff has called the Deputy Director of the FBI, asking them to come and publicly knock down reports he did not like.

I feel that the White House has ignored this important policy, and that further investigation by the Inspector General is warranted.

In every chapter from the story of America's success, we find countless examples of the contributions made by immigrants. In fact, it begins in our prologue: we are a nation founded by immigrants. Yet, over the weekend, a Member of this…

Without the Affordable Care Act, Terri tells us she would never have received the preventive care that she credits for saving her life.

This landmark legislation has even saved the lives of people like Terri, one of my constituents from Dublin, California.

What I appreciate about the Affordable Care Act is that, each year, before the Affordable Care Act, my team... would have to look at how astronomically high the coverage costs have been.

All of the arrows continue to point to Russia. It is not disputed that Russia carried out this attack. It is not disputed that it was ordered by President Putin. It is not disputed that they sought to help Donald Trump. It is not disputed…

I thank Mr. McGovern for his work on this issue. I love my country, and I don't doubt that every one of my colleagues in this Chamber also loves this country. I admire every man and woman who has so bravely fought to defend it. After all…

An independent judiciary is critical, of course, to our Nation's constitutional system of checks and balances.

I hope my friends on the other side of the aisle will join me today in condemning President Trump's comments threatening the legitimacy of our judicial branch.

And when you're implying that someone is incapable of rendering impartial justice because of the color of their skin, I think you've got trouble.

I support increased transparency of the judiciary.

America is and must remain a country that welcomes refugees, and we must welcome refugees of all religions. President Trump has our country under a Muslim ban that makes us less safe and less American. Less safe because we already have in…

I stand with women and men across our country in opposition to H.R. 7, the latest effort from Republican leaders to take the opportunity for women to make choices about their own healthcare decisions. This weekend, my colleagues and I…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question and allow an amendment to be put forward on H.R. 356, the Protecting Our Democracy Act. A public report was released on Friday by the FBI, the CIA…
