I mean, our founders basically put Congress in the driver's seat and particularly after the 15th Amendment, which guaranteed the right to vote and gave Congress specific power to enforce that by appropriate legislation.

This path has been inexorable since the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to turn over Donald Trump’s tax returns to the prosecutors.

You don’t just run in and charge the big fish right away. You build your case slowly and methodically.

the sentence from the court of 22.5 years is one of the longest that a police officer has ever received for using deadly force.

the fact that these cases -- that this case was brought, historic. And the fact that the charges included murder, historic. The fact that officer after officer testified to how wrong this was, historic.

I think we will hear something like that, because even if you don’t have a smoking gun or anything, it’s very clear that members of Congress and, indeed, the president himself gave aid and comfort to these people.

It’s a shame that the Republicans were afraid to do this in a bipartisan way. But let’s not let the truth go undiscovered. We need to find it out.

I think Merrick Garland is right to lift the gag order, to have the inspector general investigate this. But that’s not enough. I think we need a full, true reckoning of what happened at the Justice Department over the last four years.

I 100 percent agree with you, Joy.

This isn’t just about who pays. When the Justice Department comes in and says, this is an official act, that dismisses the suit.

I think Elie is absolutely right in saying one piece here is, the department shouldn’t be -- we shouldn’t -- our tax dollars shouldn’t be going to fund Trump’s defense.

There`s been a concerted effort on the part of the Republican Party to try and erase those facts.

This is like Benghazi times a million. And we had so many hearings about that. We need a hearing about this.

This was an armed assault on our nation`s Capitol. People died on sacred ground.

You’ve got a party who’s hell-bent on getting their nominees to the Supreme Court to strike down legislation that they don’t like that’s been passed by majority of people. This is an anti-majority party in the end.

the Republican Party has become an anti-Democracy party.

Trump has the most to fear, because he knows Weisselberg has the most to fear, and Weisselberg will flip. And that’s very, very bad news for Donald Trump. Weisselberg knows where the bodies are buried.

Bill Barr lied, the Justice Department lied.

This is the people’s memo. I think this is the wrong decision.

I believe there should be a zone of secrecy for government decision making and government privacy but it’s a two-way street.

The people need to see and understand what happened at this Justice Department over the last four years.

This comes after the most legally radical administration in history.

Bill Barr, what he did was it really weakened the Justice Department.

the DA's office has independently reached enough evidence to convene a grand jury to pursue a crime or crimes at Trump Org.

this is like a classic prisoner’s dilemma right now.
