And so, I would hope that if Republicans do care about members of Congress, following the laws that we write, that they would also support an Ethics committee investigation.

And if the Republican attacks on democracy, want to continue now, with attacks on free and fair elections, like what George Santos did, in his New York district, then that is who the Republican Party is going to be.
No, of course not. These documents need to be kept in a SCIF. Now, the National Archives has a SCIF. The West Wing has a SCIF.
The bigger issue here is the threat to democracy that Donald Trump continues to make.
I think that the threats and the dissension into sort of this extremist -- these extremist supporters comes from this continued anti-democratic fervor in the Republican Party.
We are in an existential crisis right now about whether we're going to be a democracy going forward, or whether we are going to allow for the cult of personality, the authoritarian dictator wannabe down in Mar-a-Lago to literally steal the…
The threats and the dissension into sort of this extremist -- these extremist supporters comes from this continued anti-democratic fervor in the Republican Party.
I think that is an understatement. This is an embarrassment and humiliation, and a total travesty, a waste of resources, a waste of time.

the destruction of these documents, whether he ripped them up, tore them up, ate them, flushed them down the toilet, or whatever it is, he is destroying presidential record.
the House Oversight Committee, under Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney has announced an investigation into that issue.
the committee is actually getting a lot of evidence, notwithstanding some of the obfuscation and obstruction from the Meadows and the Bannons.
this was one of the most catastrophic events in American history, and it needs to be treated as such.
The significance is that the rule of law matters, congressional subpoenas matter, and the Department of Justice is taking the view that flouting congressional subpoenas is a crime as the criminal statutes dictate.
No one is above law. We will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need.
I think the biggest problem that you're pointing out is less about prosecuting Donald Trump supporters and more about actually seeing the facts, seeing the evidence and investigating the former president and those around him for trying to…
It appears that the Biden administration is not going to assert executive privilege over Donald Trump`s conversations with people in the White House.
