The presidents of the United States don't end up in jail. People around them often do. And if I were someone working for the president and concerned about perjury, I would testify.

If Trump has nothing to hide, why doesn't he have Mulvaney and Bolton testify? An executive privilege is not a defense.

I don't understand why anyone would work for President Trump because he will throw you under the bus, and he has been doing this over and over again.

That's a bomb shell, it's explosive, and it isn't hearsay.

I think he elevated her credibility but it's just sad. It's sad for democracy.

I appreciated your eloquent comments earlier about how your only agenda is nonpartisan in the interest of what is in the national well-being.

My view is they are still going to have their money in the United States because it is the best place for investment.

They said, you can't withhold this aid that Congress has appropriated. It's illegal. And yet their warnings went totally unheard.

The president withheld aid from Zelensky because he wanted Zelensky to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and announced that publicly.

Yes, they do, and that's why John Bolton should testify. There is no reason for John Bolton not to testify.

Well, it's absolutely critical. It goes to the pressure that they were facing and they actually didn't want this revealed because they felt that their relationship with the United States was at risk.

They owe the American people an explanation.

If the president really believes that he did nothing wrong, why does he need House members to be plotting a legal strategy? Why is there a concern about people like Vindman filing complaints?

The reality is the president has no defense. Everyone knows he's bragged about saying that he wanted Zelensky to investigate Biden.

Imagine when Trey Gowdy was conducting the Benghazi investigation of Hillary Clinton behind closed doors, if Democratic members had after each deposition, gone and called Hillary Clinton and plotted Hillary Clinton's strategy. There would…

Most people, I think, will agree that the president of the United States should not be telling foreign leaders to go dig up dirt on their political rivals, that that is not how we conduct democracy in America.

But the question is does it cross an ethical line. Should members of Congress whose job is to exercise oversight over the executive branch be plotting with the executive branch on their strategy?

there was a quid pro quo, that the president basically is withholding aid, Zelensky is being told that you have to have a public press conference announcing a investigation into Joe Biden. And that's completely unacceptable.

these are the places where the most sensitive classified information is shared. No one -- everyone knows this, you are not allowed to take any electronic device.

in this country, we have a rule of law, not a rule by mob.

this is just contrary to everything the country stands for to interrupt proceedings when the Republicans have every due process.

he doesn't understand that we live in a constitutional democracy where the rule of law matters more than any individual.

It has really been a pleasure working with you on H.R. 4183. We need more veterans like you in Congress.

Is there any reason that we should not just do this as a nation to be competitive in the 21st century on a bipartisan basis?

I was encouraged by the comments of Representative Johnson, who brought up rural broadband.
