I want to emphasize the importance of ensuring the safety of its workforce.

I don't want to see the heavy hand of Washington bureaucrats dictate to State and local officials how their elections must be administered.

Now we hear talk of the President's notion of a peaceful transfer of power. Which apparently means what? Minimal casualties? Now we hear talk of healing after the criminal acts are completed. Never, as a criminal defense attorney, did I…

It sounds like what happened.

You know, one side says blame; the other side says accountability.

You're being selective on what you're taking credit for and not.

So you are telling the trans community that because of how you perceive how some people react to them, it is OK to discriminate against them?

With all due respect, if you don't understand that the trans community and the LGBTQ community as a whole haven't been discriminated against, the person who believes that has been living under a rock.

Then my strong suggestion is that you change what you are modifying here and tell them that the rules apply to all providers.

But what you are saying is you are not letting the beneficiaries know that they have an alternative to go to a provider that doesn't discriminate against them.

Have you let it known within the Agency that you won't tolerate this especially relating to these issues?

The law says you cannot discriminate, that's my solution.

We do not agree. First of all, I want to make clear we do not agree on any of that.

You cannot discriminate because there are some people who you tell us say they don't like other people because of the way they look.

But they are not if they are not being allowed to participate because somebody else thinks it is OK to discriminate.

What you are saying is those people have the right to do that and therefore the Federal Government can back up that right to discriminate.

But you are saying that if someone doesn't like someone else in that shelter, for whatever reasons, that you can allow discrimination against those people.

In 3 years, first of all, in 3 years we don't have the guidance, which belies any credibility you have that, respectfully, that this is ever going to happen.

You will find it is someone they have to get special rights just to use the shelter?

When he's not held accountable, I think he goes on to higher crimes and misdemeanors.

It's really hard to overlook the Mueller report. It is pretty clear to me that special counsel was hindered in indicting the President for obstruction, simply because the Department of Justice doesn't allow such things in its regulations.

I think it is time for that strategy discussion to take place. I think it's most important that we do this in the most effective manner possible.

Rudy was the issue we care about most, the quarterback of the President soliciting one of our closest allies for a bribe. I think he quarterbacked it in Ukraine.

Look, I think it's critical, not just for this case but for a future of congressional oversight. I think part of what I would tell my Republican colleagues is, do you really want to live in the world where any president has absolute…

The fact of the matter is that the defense has shifted depending on what's working.
