I was a little sad to hear my Republican colleague say that Ms. Jayapal's proposal is somehow way out there on the fringe.

I am very sensitive to programs that ultimately use public money to allow corporations to avoid bankruptcy and service their debt and ultimately pay dividends.

And thank you for your extraordinary efforts and the efforts of the Federal Reserve to contribute to the emergency rescue that we have all witnessed.

There is not a person present at this hearing who isn't disgusted by the actions of that police officer, and the officers at the site who did nothing to stop it.

We saw it under the Bush administration in which the CIA and George Tenet, the director of the CIA, famously characterized the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a slam dunk, because that's what the vice president, Dick…

CRA is nonpartisan. CRA is about helping people. And if we truly need to help people, we have to do it now.

What is the balance of time available? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for being here. I would love to use my 5 minutes to have you reflect a little bit on shadow banking.

If you have a congressional subpoena, you show up, full stop.

Courts have ruled time and time again, including the Supreme Court, that impeachment is sort of Congress at its most powerful.

I want to emphasize a quid pro quo is not necessary for there to have been an abuse of power.

A quid pro quo makes the situation more serious, but I would also point out, Anderson, that the chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, two weeks ago, went before the cameras and basically admitted to a quid pro quo.

I want to sort of downplay the importance of this so-called quid pro quo. Quid pro quo is what the defenders of the president are saying is essential for the president to have been guilty of something. It's not.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.

We can allow that concentration of power to take over government, which is to embrace fascism; we can allow government to take over that concentration of power, which is to embrace communism; or we can embrace competition.

I think you have a responsibility to do more than police. I think you have a responsibility to actually invest.

I will never forget looking at the thousands of Facebook ads and Twitter posts that the Russians had purchased in order to attack our democracy.

If President Putin can get our President thinking in those terms, it can drive a wedge, and ultimately allow Putin to succeed, in his desire to, you know, ultimately control half of that country, retain Crimea, and - and do whatever he…

Of course, Putin, who's a very savvy individual with a background in intelligence, a background in manipulating people, and getting people to do things that they don't necessarily start out wanting to do, of course, he's going to know how…

I almost worry more about Rudy Giuliani because, as we know, and you - you only need to look at Rudy Giuliani's Twitter feed to know that he trades in these conspiracy theories about the DNC server being located in Ukraine, about the…

I strongly agree with Mr. Meeks. I don't want to see 2008 again.

This is a complete overhaul of the circulatory system of the global economy.

But I suppose what really concerns me in the context of monetary policy is, I am sure you are aware of a report that was published by the Minneapolis Fed...

I have for years been saying that we need to reassert congressional constitutional authority for deciding when we go to war.

I think to fail to respond to an awful Iranian regime, to sort of empower them, to send a message we won't respond if we are hit would be the more dangerous of the two options.
