Some of these documents were contemporaneous communication while the riot was going on and the events leading up to the riots.

He sent this information over obviously, he did not believe it was privileged or he wouldn't have sent it. And so do refuse to answer questions about it is really -- that's not the way things work. You assert privilege on a question by…

Well, it could well be. You know, it`s worth reading what the Fifth Amendment actually says. No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. Well, it looks like Mr. Clark and now Mr. Eastman think that…

We do believe that both Clark and Eastman have information that the committee needs.

If there were -- was evidence either of state crimes, obviously, interfering with or intimidating election officials I believe it`s a criminal in every state, certainly a crime in federal elections.

Another member of your committee, Adam Schiff, has been clear in his public remarks that he believed those efforts to pressure the states to change election results, that those were crimes.

We need to hear from Mr. Stockton exactly when he said that, Mark Meadows` reaction. How much of this was in fact directed by the White House and Mr. Trump or his staff?

Its voters. It’s the voters of America who’s will needs to be adhered to, not the Republicans saying, well, our guy lost. So we want to reinstate him anyhow. It’s not up to me or Republican members to decide who’s going to be the…

We want to follow the money, find out how this whole riot was planned and paid for and the like. And we think Mr. Stone and Mr. Jones have information that we need.

We had a very good discussion, making sure that all of the elements that would be necessary to support a prosecution are present.

You can't allow these individuals who have information that the committee needs to simply flout their obligation, thumbed their nose at Congress and the law. This just, that can't happen in America.

I expect that the attorney general and the Department of Justice will proceed accordingly once they`ve gone through all of the material.

These are individuals who were heavily involved in trying to overturn the election, being involved in the so called War Rooms at the Willard Hotel, and we need to find out everything they said and did.

Well, I think it`s just part of our plowing through to get all the evidence about everything that happened. We -- clearly, these are individuals who were heavily involved in trying to overturn the election, being involved in the so-called…

I would note that the gentleman from Indiana is incorrect. We are not pursuing a law enforcement investigation. Only the DOJ can do that. What we are doing is taking the steps that are provided for under the congressional contempt statute…

A heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy.

I thank you for your service to our country and I look forward to your deliberations so that the Congress of the United States can play its rightful role in defending our institutions and adopting legislation that will strengthen our…

this lawsuit is towards the edge of frivolous and should not be allowed to counter what the President of the United States has already decided which is that this material should be turned over and that`s what the law provides.

the law does not appear to be on the former president`s side. The statute is not on his side. The judgment has already been made by the real president.

the President of the United States is not Donald Trump. It`s Joe Biden and Joe Biden has already made a determination that this material should be turned over, that if there`s a claim of executive privilege, it falls before the need of the…

we need to find out about that. That`s obviously not covered by executive privilege.

It’s very dangerous. If people don’t have any faith in the United States and our systems, it undercuts our democratic republic which I think may also be one of the former President’s goals.

To the extent that there is executive privilege, it’s held by the current president, not a former president.

It’s really pretty terrible that someone would just decline like Mr. Bannon for no valid reason to just refuse to comply with these subpoenas. It’s outrageous.

We expect the Justice Department to uphold the rule of law, to make sure that there's no cover up of misconduct here.
