If you don't tell your adversary that you will respond, then it is not a deterrent.

We need to be more active participants in setting the standards and the guardrails and the norms for activity in cyberspace.

We have to determine what are the crucial elements? What are the crucial sectors that need to be functioning, no matter what?

I appreciate the involvement and engagement of Representative Katko, who has outlined a series of bills, all of which we think are important.

There was not a single moment of partisanship or of partisan discussion.

If the Russians or the Chinese or the Iranians or whoever it is comes after us and does something like this, and we can attribute it to a particular country, there needs to be--there need to be consequences.

Well, I think the key is to have someone in overall charge.

The unthinkable can happen. In the last 48 hours, we have learned that cyber is an ever-present threat.

we are talking about the National Defense Authorization Act. We are talking about preventing and dealing with threats to our country. I want to describe a hypothetical threat--a threat that throws millions of people out of work almost…

someday, 100 years from now, a family will camp on a mesa in Utah or a hillside in North Carolina or a canyon in New Mexico or they will hike the rocky coast of Maine. They will play on a ballfield in Kansas, and it will be because of the…

each day, our peace officers prepare for work with no guarantee of what the next shift holds. They say goodbye to their loved ones and head out to serve and protect communities throughout Maine and across the country. And unfortunately, on…

today I recognize the bicentennial anniversary of the great State of Maine, which will be celebrated on March 15, 2020. For the past 200 years, Maine has made monumental contributions to our Nation and exemplified the best of America, with…

I would like to share my remarks, not only with my colleagues today, but more so with those who will come after us. I want to touch on four issues: the trial evidence; the President's actions as outlined in articles I and II of the…

I am sending a question to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Senator King asks the President's counsel: Would it be permissible for a President to inform the Prime Minister of Israel that he was holding congressional appropriated military aid…

Mr. Chief Justice, I have a question for the House managers I will send to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. Senator King's question for the House managers reads as follows: Mr. Rudolph Giuliani was in Ukraine exclusively on a…

Mr. Chief Justice, I have a question for both sets of counsel, which I send to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The question from Senator King is for both counsel for the President and House managers: President Trump's former chief of staff…

But I've never heard anyone question whether he was straightforward and honest.

I think the president waved the executive privilege argument last night when he said Bolton is lying.

I have been saying, before any of the revelations of last weekend, that we should hear from Bolton. He is the guy that knows. Here is what this case is all about.

I just, you know, was talking to some of my colleagues last night and I just got the feeling that the Republican leader was really putting the pressure on. Although, it now looks like there may be enough votes. I don't know how many there…

Ninety-five percent are saying there ought to be a real trial.

I just think it would be very hard to go home and say to your constituents, I didn't want to see any more facts.

If they vote -- if the president is acquitted on both of these counts, then the impeachment clause is gone.
