They tried this time.

My understanding of the intelligence is that it doesn't appear that they changed votes or vote tallies in this election.

today I wish to recognize the Senate's historic vote to ratify Treaty 114-12, Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 on the Accession of Montenegro. This represents an important step forward in Montenegro's bid to join the North…

This was an attack on our democracy.

They're going to be back in 2018 and 2020.

Putin isn't a Democrat. He's not a Republican. He is an opportunist and he's going to come after whoever he thinks is standing in his way.

I think, yes. I think as much as we can do in public is important for two fundamental reasons.

I think that's why the chairman and Mark Warner today said we're going to take our time and be sure we understand exactly what people know and what the right questions are.

The idea of an outside commission, a lot of people talk about that, but the mechanics of that, there would have to be a statute or resolution.

That has to be part of what this committee conveys to the American people, because, otherwise, you know, we're going to be struggling in the dark.

There is no single solution to this problem.

I characterize what we are looking at now as the longest windup for a punch in world history.

the Russians, particularly, are playing a weak hand, very effectively, and it is on the cheap.

we are 100 percent dependent on 21 minerals from other countries, which is a dangerous place to be, particularly when they have strategic value.

I think that is a very good point because if there is going to be an attack it probably will not be just one sector, it could be electricity, gas, financial and coordinating across sectors, I think, would be very important.

I do not want to go home to my constituents in the middle of a blackout and say well, we might have gotten to this...

Is there a central clearinghouse of hacks where there is one place where a grid operator can look...
