I want to pick up on a line of questioning that Mr. Garcia started around leveraged lending.

We need to create labor shortages.

So, in fact, what's going to happen here is exactly what has happened by all -- with all of the other manufactured, politically driven scandals that the Republicans and the defenders of the president cook up, which is that a fair…

Of course not, right? I mean, this is the sort of ongoing theme of this administration.

But the law, it could not be more clear here. And so this is really the fundamental issue is, are we going to allow the President to blatantly ignore the law?

Well, that's obviously their strategy here and so that raises a couple of questions. I mean, to all of us, and I include my Republican colleagues in there -- in this, they need to decide whether they will support this strategy because it…

Nothing could be further from the truth and I mean, it really an interesting case because as you know, Anderson, there is always a dance under every president over how fast you produce documents over some investigation Congress is doing or…

I couldn't agree with you more, that this is a whole-of-government, whole-of-society problem.

For generations we have built our way to prosperity. But sadly, concerns in the last several generations about how to pay for infrastructure have left us in an ever more desperate situation.

I just, given the intensity and the urgency of this problem, appeal to every member of this committee and to all my colleagues and to Members of the Senate to let's not let the perfect be the enemy of economic survival.

the Constitution would say you should at least begin the process of studying whether the President committed, you know, enough high crime and misdemeanor to warrant removal.

Yes, I absolutely do. You know, having now read it, I'm sort of stunned by the clarity with which Bob Mueller said hey -- and by the way, this directly is contradicted by what we heard from the attorney general, who, you know, who said…

I rise this morning to talk about a word that is everywhere, a word that is the response to every idea that we come up with, and that word is ``socialism.'' It is a scary word. It is a magical word. It is the word that comes up every time…

I don't ever want to go through that again, because I think we can maybe, maybe sustain one of those, but I don't think that this democracy can sustain another.

the American people saw trillions of dollars of value disappear for reasons they didn't fully understand

The attorney general didn't do himself any favors when he essentially arrogated a judgment that is not his to make, when he said that, you know, I got together with my deputy and we decided there's no obstruction of justice, even if…
