I think he really overstates the risk to the FBI of his not commenting, particularly given that the Clinton's e-mails that already been thoroughly and fully investigated and FBI investigators had concluded that there were no grounds for…

I do think that he should have taken closer accounts of the impact it would have on the election and neither -- and should have neither commented on Clinton nor Trump.

I was not, Anderson. Director Comey articulated the principles that he followed in deciding that he was compelled to speak out publicly about a renewed investigation into Secretary Clinton's e-mails.

I'm struck that you chose to make public statements about one investigation and not another.

Had there been public notice that there was renewed investigation into both campaigns, I think the impact would have been different. Would you agree?

More than anything, I want to hear that the FBI isn't being blocked or impeded in their investigation. And I want to know that we're going to get to the bottom of this in a balance and bipartisan way.

Trump risks giving Duterte's actions in his brutal human rights violations in American stamp of approval.

I am concerned about it undermining long-term efforts to build any enduring political institutions or to successfully combat and defeat violent extremists.

It is a reminder just how challenging it is for us to pursue our three goals of promoting regional security, supporting American values, and defending human rights.

I am eager to hear from the witnesses about the impacts that conflict minerals continue to have in Eastern Congo.

Thank you for sharing your experience about ongoing, widespread and, sadly, often effective Russian aggression against our democracies.

I have seen firsthand, as have many members of this committee, the effects of Russian disinformation campaigns, cyber attacks, and attempts to influence elections.

I'm not ready to end debate on this issue. So I will be voting against closure, unless we are able as a body to finally sit down and find a way to avoid the nuclear option.

As we look at the world order, I am particularly curious about India.

I think we may conclude that the outcome of these years is to make the Senate great again for a variety of reasons.

I do think it is vital that this committee in a bipartisan way engage in this conversation.

You are defining the toxin with which Western democracy is currently being poisoned, which is a combination of corruption, of disinformation, of sustained hybrid warfare.

These were some of the fiercest anti-Kremlin and anti-corruption protests in 5 years.

I thank you and your wife for coming forward again and again and for giving witness to this long pattern of violent repression of dissent in Russia

I am so grateful that you have again convened an important hearing on this pressing issue

People-to-people exchanges provide an opportunity to look beyond the current political situation (and the current political regime in Russia) and lay the foundations for a long-term relationship between American and Russian societies based…
