The Public Record
50th Vice President of the United States in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Ohio.
In America, we play political games at the voting box, not with guns and with explosive devices.
That sort of treatment in the immediate aftermath of this incident, I think, has played a role in permitting it to fade from the public conscience.
While many of the Afghanistan people are good people, they’re bad ones too, don’t like Americans and our Western way of life. Resettling them in the United States, so our country becomes a refugee camp, is not the answer.
This is an impeccably well-qualified DOJ. Everyone from the Attorney General on down who will be involved in considerations of investigations and prosecutions has deep experience.
I think it`s great that he`s testifying now. It`s important that we learn the truth about these failed efforts by Trump to find a way to subvert the election which ultimately left him in his mind with no option other than to go forward…
Let`s give the votes to all the children in this county, but let`s give control over those votes to the parents of the children.
That we`re effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies.
In this absolutely remarkable situation, where you have every appearance that a sitting president was involved in insurrection, that the Justice Department must fully investigate the facts and circumstances around that.
This shows that there was a Trump loyalist inside of the Justice Department, who had not only fully bought into the big lie, but who was advocating it and advancing it in a very real way.

We've allowed ourselves to be dominated by childless sociopaths - they're invested in NOTHING because they're not invested in this country's children.
There are good reasons that if you`re Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, you would support an IG investigation, because it could do a lot to return confidence to DOJ simply by exposing the truth about the past four years.
DOJ can only be successful if the public has confidence that it`s conducting its work with integrity.
Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some people feel better for a bit but he cannot fix what ails them and one day, they’ll realize it.
This probably means that estimates that Gaetz would be indicted in July were a little bit too optimistic.
I regret the tweets and regret being wrong about the guy. I think he was a good president.
There is uncontroverted evidence that Rudy Giuliani made false and misleading statements to courts, to legislative bodies, to the American people that made it difficult for people to have confidence in the outcome of the election
It seems to me that you don`t put all of these resources into this investigation, only to come up empty-handed as the very last thing that you do as the district attorney in Manhattan.

It looks like a full-court press on all potential witnesses who could cooperate directly against people at the top of the Trump Organization, the former president and his children.
McGahn testifies very clearly to facts that constitute obstruction of justice, that the president of the United States asked him to reach out to the Justice Department and have Bob Mueller, who was the special counsel at that time fired.
