I do think that there's disarray. I think there's finger pointing.

The words have almost all been said. Search your soul. Consider your oath. And I add four more words: Reflect on your legacy. My friends, which way is history flowing right now? Will Donald Trump join the pantheon of Washington, Lincoln…

If there is a trial in the Senate, of course, there is evidence and so we may find out who the president was talking to the day before the insurrection.

Even though it would appear that Mitch McConnell has for the first time in the four years of the Trump administration found some conscience with respect to Donald Trump.

When Liz Cheney comes out with a statement that is actually more blistering than a lot of Democrats, what you're seeing is you're seeing the ground open.

An impeachment unlike a censure, if we follow through on it, we can impose the penalty of Donald Trump never being able to run for any office again.

Our country will never get back to normal until people are held to account for their seditious and their violent actions.

This is not a time for stupid cable news fights. It's a time for mourning the loss of life.

An assault on our democracy and assault. Many otherwise law abiding citizens had actually been fooled into taking part in by our president, who lied to them about widespread election fraud that did not occur.

The biggest agitator is your buddy, the President. You probably have his number on your cell phone.

This is a man who incited a situation where the presidential line of succession, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, the Speaker Pro Tem of the Senate were at risk.

The President on the day he pardoned murderers and liars is saying, I'm going to deny millions of Americans, the food and the sustenance that they need.

I have no reason to believe the President isn't going to pardon everybody who demonstrated loyalty to him.

People -- there needs to be an intervention by Republican leaders in the Congress to go to the President and say the time is up, you have to accept that there is a change of power here. It has to be peaceful. Otherwise, we're going to…

Well, John, I have a shallow thought and a deep thought. The shallow thought is that a flurry of pardon suggests that at some level, Donald Trump knows that he is going to not be president in less than a month. The deeper thought is, you…

I thank my friend, Mr. Gallego, for yielding. I rise in strong support of H.R. 5852. Weir Farm is a magnificent jewel that resides in the middle of my district. I should say at the outset, my district is actually smaller than a great…

if we don't take a very strong and clear stance and retaliate, and I do mean retaliate, depending, of course, on what we learned about what the what the cost was to us, the Russian -- the whoever pulled this off, we'll do it again.

And, you know, you can imagine -- it's Roger Stone, it's Paul Manafort, it's any one of the half dozen of people very close to the President, who undoubtedly have stories to tell about the President's behavior who are being told, stay…

It's sad because the pardon power, it's a -- it's a very unusual power, right. It's completely unchecked. And it's designed to give our system of justice something that it doesn't naturally have, which is mercy, you know.

In this case, of course, the president used it at in the very best breeding, to do a favor for somebody who provided the President with a one thing that he understands that it's a loyalty to him.

There's only one thing that has ever mattered to Donald Trump, and that is deep, deep loyalty to him and to him only.

This, of course, is what the new President Joe Biden is going to have to fix when he takes office on January 20th.

The government is very, very much in the business of bailouts.

I would like to believe we could do fewer rather than more.
