Well, much like Attorney General Barr put out his summary before the Mueller report came out, the Republicans are putting out the rebuttal before the actual document comes out from the Intelligence Committee. It is intended to confuse the…

You know, Ambassador Sondland sat in that hearing room and said, yes, there was a quid pro quo. That was their witness. The appointment by the president of Mr. Sondland to his post and he's saying there was a quid pro quo.

I think it's poppycock. And I think it is once again an effort by the president and all of the members of the House and Senate on the Republican side to try and weave a falsehood into a truism.

I think he's got to be very specific, which he has not been. There's some 200 times in which he does not recall. But he's got to have a refreshed recollection around phone calls he had with the president of the United States.

There was clearly, in a number of circumstances, a concern about linking aid to Ukraine to the investigations that the president wanted on Joe Biden, his son and the 2016 election.

Again, it shows consistent efforts by the White House and others for a cover-up. We don't have all the documents we should have. In fact, we have very few documents because the State Department has not cooperated at the request of the…

I think one of the most important things that came out of the hearing was that Ambassador Volker gave a very strong character support for Vice President Biden and the fact that everything he did as vice president in Ukraine was consistent…

He is withholding information from the committee. He is preventing many people from testifying before the committee.

There was clearly obstruction of justice. It was spelled out in the Mueller report.

And so I think that the only thing that we have to establish is that, was there corrupt intent? And I think I don't have to look at his actions.

The fact that bribery is mentioned in the Constitution I think is something the American people grab on to, treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors.

I think what we have to do is just do our job. And this inquiry will move forward.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You have not lived through this kind of experience.

I started to cry because I share the same experience that you have had. I lost a child, a fetus, when I was 17 weeks.

To see what Missouri has done with their laws and how difficult they have made it is so repugnant to me and should be repugnant to every woman in this country.

We cannot force women to have to jump through hoops and travel long distances to get the healthcare that they deserve and that is legal under the law in this country.

She took something that was the worst experience of my husband and my life and showed us love and no judgment...

They provided me with a booklet that is written by the state that has medically inaccurate information in an attempt to help me make an informed decision, which just doesn’t make sense to me.

I lost a child, a fetus, when I was 17 weeks, and I told my story on the House floor in part because I sat there and listened to such false information coming from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that it outraged me so much…

Money to Ukraine that had been appropriated by Congress was being withheld because the president wanted his pound of flesh from Ukraine in terms of an investigation, placing the country at great risk and all the people and all the soldiers…

The selection will probably be made by the chairman, Mr. Schiff. But I am certain we will all be able to weigh in as to who we think are appropriate witnesses to lay out the case.

I am as interested as Chairman Schiff is and I think the Democratic Caucus to making sure that there is a very fulsome open hearing discussion on what is a really serious issue.

I think we're moving as expeditiously as we can.

Instead, Sterling has made a mockery of our laws and has used forced arbitration to make 70,000 women in this country subject to a 14-year process. That is not justice. That is enslavement.

This inspector general -- this is not if you are a conspiracy theorist who believes in the deep state, this is not somebody who has been brewing into the deep state for a decade. This is somebody appointed by President Trump.
