It's a step in the right direction if we don't have to actually subpoena somebody but they come voluntarily.

I imagine that the chairman got a heck of a lot, shall we say negative feedback from the White House on that hearing.

We are going to remain dogged at here. We are producing witness lists. We are, you know, demanding evidence.

This is now the third or fourth time that Chairman Nunes has done something that has called into question whether he is acting as an impartial chairman of an investigation or whether he's acting as a member of the Trump transition team.

His act, as well as his act today, canceling an open hearing with some witnesses this week sadly sums up to an awful lot of efforts to slow down and obstruct this investigation.

Well, there's a couple of obvious reactions. Number one is it's not the chairman of the intelligence panel's job to stop the heat from the media headed in the president's direction.

I don't know how you tell the American people that after looking at an information, sharing it with the president and running it to the White House, which is the subject of the investigation, no, don't worry, we can still do an impartial…

We as Democrats are not sticking around in the face of this behavior, or the face of other instructions. We are not going to lend some bipartisan sheen to what is starting to look more and more like an effort to back up Donald Trump, to…

This is just the most pathetic fig leaf because it has absolutely nothing to do with President Obama potentially wiretapping Donald Trump in Trump Tower but it allows these guys I guess to tick a box and show America that maybe they were…

All I can tell you is you just saw a wildly irregular action by the chairman of the committee charged with being objective and thorough in an investigation just fly down the street to the White House and, lo and behold, immediately…

Well, it's sort of hard to do that, isn't it? I mean, this isn't a one-off.

We rise and fall on our ability to innovate.

This was a sort of bizarre moment in history when the president of the United States for the first time in our history wouldn't stand up against a clearly antagonistic power.

Donald Trump not only doesn't criticize Putin for doing that, he sort of holding him harmless.

There's enough circumstantial evidence.

It did surprise me that he went that far.

You know, I've run five campaigns. I don't know how you could convince anybody that your campaign chairman, that is somehow a limited role.

I think the facts would show that he never did register.

Whether he registered or not is not something that you can't comment on?

Carter Page would be on that list, absolutely.

It feels to me like there are four or five people here that we must speak to. Now, they may choose to not to come voluntarily, in which case we would need to issue a subpoena.

Apparently, growth of 2 percent is not the 4 percent promised by President Trump.

Every single one of those measures, of course, was opposed by my friends on the other side of the aisle.

I was here 8 years ago, sworn-in, in a month when the economy lost almost three-quarters of a million jobs.

I am a big believer in preserving monetary independence or independence for the monetary authorities.
