JD Vance

Federal law, which will be changed if the George Floyd Act passes in the Senate, as it has in the House, will make it easier for federal prosecutors to prosecute.

What this really points out is how critical it is for Joe Biden and Merrick Garland to get their ducks in a row at the Justice Department and get some of their senior-level people confirmed by the Senate and in place, because it’s clear…

You have to keep in mind that Greenberg was himself an elected official, and he used all of the power that he had because of the office that he held to commit these crimes.

The core of this, though, has to be any child sex crimes. DOJ takes that seriously.

None of us get this. I mean, this is the difficulty in discussing this story. Literally nothing about it makes sense right now.

If people committed crimes, and if there is evidence that proves that they committed those crimes within the statute of limitations, then there’s really nothing that a defendant can say about how long it took or, why is it happening now?

The real question here is, what did they hope to gain by delaying? Did they think that that extra hour or two would buy them an actual coup?

We can`t be a country where the president is above the law.

You can`t put a Band-Aid on cancer and expect it to heal. And that`s what happens if we don`t hold the former president accountable for insurrection.

That will be very telling for how seriously Democrats assess their chances and whether they believe there`s some outside chance that they can muster the 67 votes needed to convict here.

Look, Joy, everything that you're saying confirms what we know, that leadership really matters, and that Donald Trump was a wholly deficient leader.

The only thing that makes the orders of magnitude here is we're talking about the U.S. Capitol. The crimes are the same.

Georgia's solicitation statute doesn't require that you complete the crime.

We have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.

Why can’t we do that here?

Babies are good, and a country that has children is a healthy country.

This is a president who is offering pardons to people who possibly could have offered testimony that would have indicated that he himself had engaged in misconduct or perhaps even in criminal conduct.

This is just crazy talk.

It will be critical that our leaders, our politicians, and really that each of us in our homes and our spheres of influence, that we bring Americans back around to understanding that this is what separates our country from other countries.

The American people have spoken. Trump can at worst be a nasty spoiler who creates uncertainty, who makes the smooth transfer of power into something difficult. But he's lost here.

I think anyone who pretends they didn't see it coming is just fooling themselves. So there has to be some sort of accountability.

Barr's comments today might have been a little bit more praise worthy, if he had made them when any of these controversies were fresh, but now the issues have been exposed.

The reality is the guard rails that we spent so much time talking about early on in the Trump administration, that didn't seem to exist then have now been reinvigorated.

We have a president who's fundamentally not committed to the rule of law. He's willing to burn things down to protect himself.

Whatever is coming down the road as Americans pulling together we can get through this and to the other side on January 20.
