The most reckless, insidious, and calamitous failures in both legal and political judgment in American history.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Make no mistake about the fact that the Vice President's life was in danger.

Our investigation found that immediately after the President's 2:24 p.m. tweet, the crowds, both outside the Capitol and inside the Capitol, surged.

Violence was not going to win, freedom wins, and that the people were going to get back to doing their work.

Did you advise the President that in your professional judgement the Vice President DOES NOT have the power to decide things unilaterally?

Of course, the most dangerous part of what Donald Trump did on January 6th was what he did himself.

Despite the fact that the Vice President consistently told the President that he did not have and would not want the power to decide the outcome of the Presidential election, Donald Trump continued to pressure the Vice President, both…

Fortunately for the fate of our Republic, Vice President Pence refused to go along with President Trump's demands.

I mean, John, back in 2000, you weren't jumping up and saying Al Gore had this authority to do that.

Al Gore conceded. Of course, Al Gore was the Vice President at the time, but he never suggested that he could simply declare himself the winner.

If the Vice President had this power to determine the outcome of a Presidential election, why hasn't it ever been used before?

Even Dr. Eastman knew his theory didn't hold water.

The President's pressure campaign started in December.

Let me be clear: Vice President Pence did the right thing that day. He stayed true to his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

Today we intend to show the American people that January 6th was not an isolated incident.

A recent court filing by the Department of Justice explains that a confidential informant from the Proud Boys told the FBI that the Proud Boys would have killed Mike Pence if given a chance.

The President latched on to a dangerous theory and would not let go.

How did we get to the point where President Trump's most radical supporters led a violent attack on the Capitol and threatened to hang President Trump's own Vice President?

Committee aides telling CNN said Thursday's hearing will highlight how the former President drove that pressure campaign, despite being told by White House lawyers that the former Vice President did not have the authority to unilaterally…

I think it`s clear the connection to people around the former president to groups like this, just like you said. The Proud Boys using recruiting tools like 'Stand back and stand by' is code names, and to help boost membership.

Yes, I think that`s right. And I think that where we started yesterday`s hearing -- thank you for having me, Joy -- was a continuation of the police officers, the D.C. Metro Police officers and Capitol Police officers, that we heard from…

I appreciate Mr. Anderson talking about that this election was secure and safe. I think Americans and Floridians need to know that.

I was concerned and troubled by one specific provision within the bill that created the Nation's only election police unit that is supposedly to investigate election complaints.

It does beg the question, what are they hiding?
