Jerrold Nadler

Bribery is obviously an impeachable offense. Bribery is contained within the accusation that the House levels of abuse of power.

The abuse of power is clearly established when the President of the United States offers something of extorts to foreign power to get a benefit for himself.

He cannot characterize the conversation and that -- and put it into the public domain, and then claim executive privilege against it.

There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other. Such an impeachment will lack legitimacy, will produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics…

Abuse, betrayal, corruption. This is exactly the understanding that the framers incorporated into the Constitution.

This is a President who has violated the law six ways from Sunday. If anyone else had been accused of what the report finds the President had done, they would have been indicted. The report presents very substantial evidence that the…

We are certainly not satisfied with that. We have repeatedly said what is demanded by the situation and that is that the Judiciary Committee be given the entire report and the underlying evidence.

This is wrong. It is contrary to the attorney general's own words to the committee.

The attorney general appears to be waging a media campaign on behalf of president Trump, the very subject of the investigation at the heart of the Mueller report.

The central concern here is that the Attorney General Barr is not allowing the facts of the Mueller report to speak for themselves, but is trying to bake in the narrative about the report to the benefit of the White House.

Chairman Nadler accused the attorney general putting the President's interest above those of the American public.

If the reason you're not indicting someone because you believe the law says that the sitting president may not be indicted... then you're converting that into a cover-up.

Executive privilege cannot be used to hide wrongdoing or misconduct.

It's fundamental law that executive privilege cannot hide misconduct. You cannot use the executive privilege to hide misconduct by the president or by anybody around him.

We want the report to be entirely public. We want the underlying evidence to be public, because it's very important that people have confidence either in the president or in the -- certainly in the investigation, so that they see the…

The time for this administration to postpone accountability is over.

Abuse, betrayal, corruption. This is exactly the understanding that the framers incorporated into the Constitution.

the public needs all the facts, and we can't have it filtered through someone who may be very partisan.

The only substitute for making a president answerable to the American people and not above the law is to give Congress and the American people all the information so that the Congress can vote impeachment if that seems advisable or…

To be impeached, you have to meet really three tests. One, you have to show that impeachable offenses have been committed, which does not necessarily mean crimes, as a separate issues.

The first priority is to protect the investigation because the investigation is necessary to protect the integrity of our elections to find out what happened.

Well, look, he's obviously not going to recuse himself. He should recuse himself because he's prejudged the issue. He said there's no Russian interference in 2016 election. He said that the investigation by special counsel is a witch hunt…

No, I don't because unfortunately, the President is giving every indication of doing whatever Vladimir Putin wants.

This was an attack on our country.
