It sort of looks like the president wasn't telling the truth when he told the American people he had no deals with Russia.

My God, I mean, in terms of inappropriate, that one of our chief antagonists around the world would have the ability to dangle something in front of the incoming president, you know, is just profoundly disturbing.

If a very valuable penthouse, anything of value is offered to a foreign leader in the context of you asking for that leader's help on something, yes, I think that sure looks like a bribe.

I don't believe that for a second. I think the President demanded to know who he might get away with putting in that position that would be most inclined to share his view of the investigation.

What's important is that there is a mechanism for the special counsel to ask the President whatever questions the special counsel may have, and that's sort of an important constitutional principle that no person in the United States…

I believe that he wanted to, whether he was ever going to be permitted to do so is a totally different question.

It is very clear to me that given that he goes into this with an adverse opinion on this investigation, he should recuse himself right away.

To me it's pretty clear that the attorney general is a principle officer and should be Senate confirmed.

I look at this and I see us lining up with appalling dictators and quirky monarchies in ways that probably have blowback for us.

It has been a long time since I studied economics, but stimulus in the face of a robust economy concerns me from the angle of inflation.

My friends on the other side of the aisle completely rejected Keynesian economics at the time and said that wasn't going to work.

I want to use my 5 minutes to ask you about two specific risks and for your elaboration thereon.

I think there is a real opportunity for people to get hurt.

I really appreciate your intense focus on ICOs.

I have been crying in the wilderness.

The history of the gross spread pricing a middle-market IPO tax.

I was always struck, though I was a supporter of the JOBS Act, the best estimates I could get at the time was that the Sarbanes-Oxley and other compliance regimes probably imposed in the neighborhood of $1 million to $3 million a year of…

They are just willing -- and it's kind of interesting because of course they are the leaders of the right wing faction, the conservative faction of the Republican Party which today brought down the all important farm bill for the…

What Devin Nunes and what the President and what his people are doing right now is they are telling the world that when we feel like it we will expose sources, we will expose informants, we will expose assets and in dangerous places around…

They are certainly doing profound, profound damage to the ability of the FBI in the future to do its job and the ability of the CIA to recruit human agents around the world.

They have said we're set all that aside traditionally we would have stood for law and order. And we are damaging the law and order institutions of this country in favor of very simply defending the President.

Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan don't have three facts to rub together on this investigation.

It would certainly be illegal to do what Devin Nunes and Mark Meadows and the gang of defenders of the President have been doing which is been leaking this stuff.

There is no evidence of that in this case that he can offer.

For a law and order Republican to be calling the FBI storm troopers, to be joining this effort to throw mud on this storied institution that we really need confidence in, really breaks my heart.
