I look forward to you holding the crown prince accountable.

Do you agree with our own CIA's assessment that the crown prince ordered the murder of U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi?

military action against Iran without the approval of Congress is absolutely not an option.

Under the Constitution the framers gave Congress the power to declare war, correct? It is just a yes or no.

Under the Constitution, Congress has the power to declare war, correct? It is just a yes or no.

the Congress has to play a major role and the AUMF of 2001 has no relevance to the situation with Iran today.

that is not an excuse for the United States to plunge into another war without congressional approval.

The U.N. today reported that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia should be investigated for murdering Jamal Khashoggi.

It would not be appropriate to remove a career employee simply because they worked in an administration of a different party, correct?

Under our Constitution, does the President have the power to declare war?

You would agree, wouldn't you, that in crafting Iran policy, or actually any policy in the State Department, you want employees who have expertise in that subject area; isn't that right?

So you know that under Law of Conflict in international law, personnel can be liable for war crimes if they give weapons to people they know are going to commit war crimes.

the Republicans in our U.S. Senate is about to pass 22 resolutions blocking these arms sales on a bipartisan basis because those standards have not been met.

the reason we do that is not because it is just a moral thing to do; it is because if we start engaging in war crimes and violating the Law of Armed Conflict, it not only invites retaliation by our adversaries, it also is a great…

the U.S. takes very seriously war crimes, whether committed by our adversaries or even our allies, is not that right?

What kind of message does it send to our adversaries if they know that the President is going to pardon people who committed war crimes or are charged with war crimes?

the U.S. goes to great lengths to make sure that even our own personnel do not engage in war crimes, is not that right?

Republican Congress Member Dan Crenshaw has stated that he believes, as I do, that a military jury should first decide whether Chief Gallagher has engaged in these war crimes.

Now we're seeing the effects of people saying enough is enough. We're seeing that the voices of women and men are being heard!

To be silenced after simply having the guts to come forward? That's unjust and un-American.

I think it would be good if Donald Trump and his State Department friends got on the same page on Libya

urged the U.S. to invigorate support for Salame's action plan and to discourage our partners' support of proxy forces inside Libya and violations of the arms embargo.

Right now, we have got a committee trying to seek information on why the President and Bill Barr are suing to eliminate healthcare coverage for people with preexisting conditions. We can't get that information. So let us just be clear of…

When you say they lost 12 ambulances, are these because of what Haftar is doing or what the government is doing, or both?

I humbly suggest this committee send a similar bipartisan letter to the White House asking for an immediate clarification of U.S. policy on Libya.
