But then when allegations surfaced implicating Mr. Snyder himself, the NFL said it was taking over the investigation.

After The Washington Post expose of decades of sexual harassment in the team, Dan Snyder announced he'd be conducting an independent investigation into the toxic workplace culture.

Everything we describe today, the relentless, destructive pressure campaign on State and local officials, was all based on a lie. Donald Trump knew it. He did it anyway.

If you allow impunity for attempts at unconstitutional seizure of power, which is what a coup is, then you`re inviting it again in the future.

But accountability also means collective accountability, and that's the real project that we're engaged in under House Resolution 503 – telling the truth to the people so we can make decisions about how to fortify democratic institutions…

We almost suffered a coup, and we did suffer a violent insurrection on January the 6th.

Donald Trump knew the Big Lie was a big lie. They used it also as a big shakedown and a ripoff of his supporters to keep money rolling in.

We have a president who, for whatever reason, refused to accept the results of a presidential election and then organized a hit against American democracy through a number of different avenues to try to overthrow the election and install…

There is a clear and present danger right now heading into the 2024 elections that Donald Trump and the Trumpist forces will attempt the same kind of maneuver to usurp the will of the people and just declare himself president.

There are a number of reforms to the Electoral Count Act, reforms to the protection of the right to vote, reforms to the electoral process that will dramatically reduce the chances that someone can succeed in trying to impose an exercise…

Somebody who does their job and sticks to the law will stand out as a hero on that day.

It's hard to think of a more grave offense – and the question of deterrence and is it important to deter coups and insurrections? And I would say yes.

The attorney general really shouldn't be reacting to particular provocations by particular politicians or criminals.

Yeah, he's essentially saying, 'Yeah, I did it, and I'll do it again,' which is what we have been contending all along, that if you allow impunity for attempts at unconstitutional seizures of power, which is what a coup is, then you're…

We have every interest in seeing that individual criminal accountability takes place, as well as our collective social and political accountability for fortifying democratic institutions going forward against coups, insurrections…

I don’t think Donald Trump was trying to reform the Electoral College, he was trying to seize the presidency.

It was perfectly clear, as a matter of law as well as a matter of fact that Donald Trump lost the election and that it was over and that the vice president had no such powers.

It is something that is moving through the House judiciary committee right now, to try to get the Supreme Court to bind themselves the way every other court in the land has a real procedure for asserting a conflict of interest.

We are committed to getting all of the facts related to everything that happened, and delivering them to the people.

I know the information we have presented over the last week is shocking--the idea that a President of the United States would orchestrate a scheme to stay in power after the people have voted him out of office.

I repeat: I would have never uttered one single one of those words unless the former President and his allies were candidly and proudly speaking those exact words to America.

I would have never spoken those words ever in my life except that that is what the former President and his allies are telling us.

I would have laid my body across the road before I would have let the Vice President overturn the 2020 election.

There`s not a general catch all federal statute that allows for Congress to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. We have the power and the authority. And I think the duty to publish all the information we have about crimes…

This is enough for us to be able to tell the public that the Big Lie was also a Big Scam, a Big Rip Off as Zoe Lofgren put it.
