The president was not exonerated by his report, that the president -- there was substantial evidence of multiple crimes of obstruction of justice by the president.

The president lied repeatedly to the American people and engaged in repeated criminal acts of obstruction of justice.

What we saw from Mr. Mueller yesterday was a report, a deeply researched report that said that the president -- that the Russians had attacked our elections to help Mr. Trump.

You don't know of a single botched family separation? Your press has reported hundreds of kids who cannot be identified. Those are botched.

You have got more numbers than I have got. You can put bills up here, and you can pass them because you are the majority.

Deporting a parent without their child is literal kidnapping.

It is not true that we have had sufficient hearings on this.

The fact that the administration is hostile to all legislative action which doesn't evince a terrible hostility to immigrants and to people, to refugees who need asylum status is our problem, but it is not our fault.

We have the capability to have safely processed the influx of migrants and deal with the situation with compassion rather than cruelty.

It is inhuman and un-American.

The president has repeatedly claimed that your report found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated him, but that is not what your report said, is it?

No one is above the law.

We will do this work because there must be accountability for the conduct described in your report, especially as it relates to the President.

The time of the gentleman has expired.

It's clear from your report and the evidence that the President wanted former Attorney General Sessions to violate the Justice Department ethics rules by taking over your investigation and improperly interfering with it to protect himself…

I believe anyone else would engage in the conduct describing your report would have been criminally prosecuted.

The report did not conclude that he did not commit obstruction of justice. Is that correct?

I think it's incredibly arrogant of the department to try to instruct him as to what to say.

I now yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the distinguished Speaker of the House.

It is particularly urgent that we do so, because women are the fastest growing segment of our Nation's incarcerated population.

One critical element of this national conversation that has been largely absent, however, is consideration of the unique experiences and needs of women and girls in the system.

Most of the policy changes that have been implemented by the Administration appear to be intended to make adjudications more complicated.

It is important to remember that the immigration debate in this country does not start and stop at the Southern border.

The mistreatment of these children and families is a moral stain on our Nation.

The Honorable Jerrold Nadler, Chairman, House Committee on the Judiciary.
