I think the basic goal of our democratic friends is to keep re litigating in public what happened back on January 6, rather than getting to a quick solution through arrest of those who did it and security adjustments to make sure it never…
We all saw what happened. We were witnesses. We were under assault by the insurrection. So we know what happened.
They would like to continue to debate things that occurred in the past. They'd like to continue to litigate the former president into the future. We think the American people going forward and in the fall of '22 ought to focus on what this…
No, we`re going to keep talking. And I understand the president is willing to keep talking. And we think, actually, the president`s a good deal more reasonable than some of the people surrounding him. So we`re open to spending some more.
this commission could -- wait for it -- hurt Republicans in the midterms, openly admitting the partisanship.
President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen. Unless the statute of limitations has run, he`s still liable for everything he did while he`s in office. He didn`t get away with anything…
As Republicans across the country continue their steady and strategic assault on our democracy, Republicans on Capitol Hill are working diligently, as Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put it, on stopping this new administration.
I think this is a purely political exercise that adds nothing to the sum total of information. It doesn`t allow anyone to get away with anything. All of these aspects of it are being dealt with in one way or another already.

I think I`m safe in characterizing our conference as willing to listen to their arguments about whether such a commission is needed.
We`re already seeing some push, push the false narrative that this conflict is a tragic dispute between two legitimate combatants, where both sides share blame. That is roughly equal. What nonsense.
Liz Cheney is a leader with a deep convictions and the courage to act on them. She is an important leader in our party and our nation.
The people who stormed this building believe they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.
Your question is about what will the 2022 elections be about. If you look at American history, the '22 election is very likely to be a referendum on the performance of the new administration.
It`s not going to pass the Senate whether -- there`s not a single Republican for it.
Almost all of the discussion was about infrastructure. And I think I`m safe in saying there is certainly a bipartisan desire to get an outcome.
