That his own Homeland Security Department said was a free and fair election and his Attorney General at the time said the same thing. So you know, it's just so detached from reality, but I think the American public sees right through this.

This was a violent assault on our democracy. And the hallmark of our democracy is a peaceful transition of power. And that’s exactly what these individuals wanted to prevent.

Our mandate is very clear. We want to get to the truth of what happened on January 6th.

When there’s a hitman, you send the hitman to jail but then you go and find the person who hired and paid for the hitman.

No one is above a subpoena. And we will get to the truth. And we will use every tool available to compel folks to help us get to the truth.

The best way to honor our law enforcement heroes who were that last line of defense on democracy on January 6th is to get to the bottom of what happened leading up to January 6th and the role that the big lie played.

What I took away is that these are additional, brave heroes who are administering our elections. And they are the fabric of our local communities. And they are under assault.

It's because of your service--it's because of you and your colleagues--that we're here today, because you were literally the last line of physical defense, laying your life on the line for democracy.

What you`re going to hear these officers and their own words. And you`re going to hear them not just in a sound bite, not in 30 seconds, they`re going to have some time to answer the questions but also to give their own testimony.

Our goal, our charge, our mission is to tell the story about January 6, what led up to the 6th, who funded it, and how we make sure this never happens again.

The hallmark of democracy is a peaceful transfer of power. And the former president was very clear that he did not believe in that.

Climate change is real. Climate change is happening. It’s leading to a longer fire season, which is exactly what we’re seeing.

If any of them had a hand in some of those external groups and organizations, we`re going to want to know about it.

We will chase every available lead, and we`re not going to be deterred from executing our goal, which is to find out what happened on the 6th.

Absolutely. And the rhetoric that he is spewing absolutely concerns me.

Absolutely. He proved that he was dangerous when he was in office.

That`s our charge. That`s our mission. That`s what the House resolution that we adopted says we should do.

Very popular ideas like universal background checks, protecting a woman's right to choose, and passing comprehensive immigration reform also poll very popular.

I want to thank the Ranking Member Steil as well for putting this panel together and this hearing on the books for us.
