The actions that occurred during the Trump presidency around January 6 and before were actually far more serious than Watergate.

Based upon everything we know from public sources, including most notably the January 6 hearings, I believe that an aggressive prosecutor would be willing to take on the case against Donald Trump, or participation in a seditious…

an aggressive federal prosecutor would regard this as a prosecutable indictable case.

If – and it was secondhand hearsay.

I see a case being developed of the criminal charges that Danny laid out, plus giving aid and comfort to an insurrection, what happened on January 6th was the very definition of an insurrection.

But it gives others an opportunity to prepare and to get organized for 2024. Do the opposite of what Donald Trump's going to do, which is to keep us all in suspense till the last minute.

I have to begin with this. While a lot of men are hiding under their desk in lawyers' offices, this hearing has really been a profile in courage among women: Caroline Edwards, Cass Hutchinson, and Liz Cheney.

On abortion, I think that rather than crafting legislation to somehow codify Roe -- Roe was a constitutional right for 50 years; you can't create by statute a constitutional right. Congress should devote its energy to, it has -- claiming…

This is the problem with Washington. It's got to be about more than just energizing the base. Focus on the things that are doable to protect a woman's ability to have an abortion in states where it is legal and safe right now.

We need a game changer here, Chris. And you and I both know that images are powerful, images can alter the course of history.

We as a democracy can no longer say that we always have peaceful transfers of power in January after an election year. We found out a year and a half ago that our democracy really is quite fragile.

the designation makes it clear, both domestically and internationally, that election infrastructure enjoys all the benefits and protections of critical infrastructure that the United States Government has to offer.

Supreme Court justices are very isolated. They make their own choices on these issues. You know, we're approaching the Ginni Thomas issue like an appearance issue: the appearance of somehow a taint.

He's a war criminal. He's slaughtering innocent men, women and children. He illegally invaded Ukraine.

At most, I would've modified the statement by saying it's not a statement of our policy; it's just simply a statement of fact.

I believe Supreme Court nomination hearings have become a national embarrassment. I watched these, and I'm embarrassed for our country. I'm embarrassed for the nominee.

I believe the sanctions will prove to be extremely effective, and putting all sorts of economic pressure on Vladimir Putin, the oligarchs his cabinet, it`ll take a while to have an effect.

I do not. I believe that we should arm the Ukrainians. I believe we should press all sorts of very aggressive sanctions.

It's a possibility, and I think -- I haven't seen the bulletin, there have been public reports about the bulletin, those types of bulletins are issued to state and local law enforcement.

It is incumbent upon Customs officials at the Federal level, state and local officials to plan for the possibility of some sort of blockade on key chokeholds around the United States.

If you do not take the vaccine you do not comply with the guidelines, you risk losing your federal pay.

My short answer is yes. I was very pleased to see in the intelligence assessment released by intelligence community that we are focused on non nontraditional, unconventional threats as well as traditional threats from Russia, and China…

It was, frankly, refreshing to see our leaders today of the intelligence community, there with Avril Haines there leading the leaders, and John and I both know her well, telling the truth about the threats our nation faces.

A famous American said, Joy, once, God did not appoint you to be policeman of the whole world. That was Martin Luther King in 1957.

For four years, the leaders of the intelligence community had to look over their shoulder because they were afraid that their boss was going to say something -- that they were going to say something their boss wouldn`t like.
