The vast majority of Americans look at the way ICE behaved, with the murder of two American citizens, and they say, that is not OK.

It is not about informing. By the way, this Congress was not informed. Mr. Speaker, eight Members of this Congress were informed. Set aside, if you will, for a moment the Constitution. Should the Representatives of the people authorize an…

My God, we’re the United States of America, right? We care — or at least we used to care — about democratic norms.

I have enough confidence in the intelligence community to know that these are probably not guys out fishing

I think it’s really important that this video be made public

I am going to limit my remarks to two things I know very well: number one, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and what we need to do to preserve that very special environment; and, number two, the character of Delegate…

I don't see anything moving. The house is, as Senator Murphy pointed out, the house is on vacation.

The American people understand that the Republicans control the White House, they control the Senate, and they control the house.

Otherwise, we can only assume that this is another politically motivated decision intended to create an atmosphere of fear.

If the Administration has cause to fire Director Kruse, they must provide that information to Congress immediately.

Few episodes in our nation’s history have been investigated as thoroughly as the Intelligence Community’s warning in 2016 that Russia was interfering in the election.

This notion that Jay Powell is unilaterally stopping a decline in interest rates... would be absolutely bananas.

The last question you asked the secretary shows what a con man he is.

So this notion that Jay Powell is unilaterally stopping a decline in interest rates, which, by the way, in the face of upticking inflation, which we're seeing, would be absolutely bananas.

He said that tariffs are paid by foreign countries. Tariffs are not paid by foreign countries.

What you just saw was a master class by a huckster and a con man who uses words like torture that are very, very dangerous words.

Tariffs are not paid by foreign countries.

Everything's going to be great in two weeks. By August 1, we're going to have a deal. The American people are going to be so happy.

Look, we need to acknowledge and every- and all of America saw it on the night of that disastrous debate in the July before the election that Joe Biden was not going to win the election.

None, absolutely none. Margaret, what you saw from the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie.

Yeah, well, you know, Margaret, the last question you asked the Secretary, shows what a con man he is.

Every legitimate investigation, including the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, found no evidence of politicization and endorsed the findings of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment.

For all the rah-rah patriotism, think about this. Again, I will acknowledge that we don't know if this is a good idea or a bad idea, and we ought to find out. Let's imagine that the European Union, which Mr. Barr wants to dissociate…

It's pretty clear that there was no imminent threat to the United States.

The law requires the congressional intelligence committees to be kept fully and currently informed, and I expect the Intelligence Community to comply with the law.
