The Public Record
Jamie Raskin is an American attorney, law professor, and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Raskin has been an advocate for various progressive policies, including healthcare reform and civil rights. He gained national attention for his role in the impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, where he served as a lead impeachment manager during the Senate trial in early 2020.
In 2015, the GAO recommended that the Federal Government come up with a plan to provide information to state, local, county decisionmakers, as well as private sector decisionmakers, to educate people about the dangers of climate change and…
There are really two different philosophies of government that are on view around the world today...
It’s not two branches that govern Congress now, meaning there’s -- it’s not House and Senate as you’re saying. He said, but it’s two parties, and one of the parties has surrendered reason and common sense.
I always thought there was a better chance of our getting 100 votes than 67. I thought that when we presented our case, the bottom would fall out from Trump`s side, but apparently there are no depths too low for some of our GOP colleagues…
None of us can escape the demands of history and destiny right now. Our reputations and our legacy will be inextricably intertwined with what we do here. And with how you exercise your oath to do impartial justice.
This was the most bipartisan presidential impeachment in the history of the United States.
Bring your client up here and have him testify under oath about why he was sending out tweets denouncing the Vice President of the United States while the vice president was being hunted down by a mob that wanted to hang him and was…
So, the counsel for the president keep blaming the House for not having the evidence that`s within the sole possession of their client who we invited to come and testify last week.
If Donald Trump wants to come put forward his side of the story, be our guest. Come sit in front of the Senate, be sworn in and tell the truth.
This is not a criminal proceeding. This is about preserving the republic, dear Senate. That`s what this is about, setting standards of conduct for the President of the United States so this never happens to us again.
If you decline this invitation, we reserve all rights, including the right to establish a trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference.
This has been my worst experience in Washington. And for that, I guess we`re sorry, but man, you should have been here on January 6th.
The counsel for the President keep blaming the House for not having the evidence that's within the sole possession of their client who we invited to come and testify last week.
I told my daughter Tabitha. I told her how sorry I was, and I promised her it won’t be that way the next time she came back to the Capitol with me.
President Trump declared his conduct totally appropriate. So if he gets back into office and it happens again, we`ll have no one to blame but ourselves.
These are the times that try men and women souls. These are the times that men and women sauce, the summer soldier in the sunshine patriot will shrink at this moment from the service of their cause in their country. But everyone who stands…
Tom Paine taught us to use our common sense. The sense we have in common as citizens. If we don`t draw the line here, what`s next? What makes you think the nightmare with Donald Trump and his lawmaking and violent mobs he`s over?
January The siege of the Michigan State House was effectively a state level dress rehearsal for the siege of the U.S. Capitol that Trump incited on January 6. Trump knew exactly what he was doing in inciting the January 6 mob.
He attacked the first amendment. He attacked the Constitution. He betrayed his oath of office.
We would pose these preliminary questions to his lawyers, which I think are on everyone`s minds right now, in which would have asked Mr. Trump, himself, if he had chosen to come and testify about his actions and inactions when we invited…
The more difficult the struggle, the more glorious in the end will be our victory. Good luck in your deliberations.
It has already been decided by the Senate on Tuesday that the Senate has constitutional jurisdiction over this impeachment case brought to you by the United States House of Representatives.
