You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.

You can`t bring a lawsuit based on a false fact or on a frivolous cause of action. Now, if you did in one case, that would be one thing. But when you have so many cases, you have a pattern of conduct that rebuts an innocent intent.

I think it`s a devastating indictment, in an informal sense, of what went wrong and how the desire to win what one lost overcame all lawful, constitutional, legal, and other normal barriers, so that they could replace themselves in an…

What it’s about is we’re piercing that veil of these powerful omnipotent people who thought they could do anything in their arrogance.

I mean, it`s malfeasance. I mean, his job is to preserve and protect the Constitution, our government, and he fails entirely and then covers up the fact that he didn`t do anything.

this is, in my opinion, a criminal overt act and part of a conspiracy that has several means to accomplish a person who didn`t win the election getting to win the election by conducting a coup directly.

We’re going to say, we won, even though we lost.

This is very dangerous for the midterms. I personally hope it results in a prosecution before we get there.

You have to question the restraint of a nation that we could be brought to the brink of destroying democracy with these people and a year and five months have passed and they have had no reckoning.

The nation needed this because we need an accounting and we've begun a process to have that.

We have to stop talking and start doing. That`s what we have to do.

It`s a big day. It`s a great day. And it gives a lot of courage to people like me and others who think it`s been long past due to have a reckoning for all these people ignoring the law and ignoring the Constitution.

I wish New York would get off its buns. And I wish both the Southern District and the DA`s office in Georgia would do it, and we stop talking about rioters. Let`s go -- let`s look at what the intelligence people were doing, not doing.

It`s not enough to wring your hands and say, oh, you shouldn`t do that, that`s really terrible. And then we do nothing for it. And we still invoke terms like no man is above the law... when, plainly, these guys are.

That means that pain is finally going to rain down on the Trump Organization, perhaps Trump himself, perhaps starting with Weisselberg.

This is a very dangerous time for Trump and his people getting away with what they have gotten away with so far, if you believe as I do... that they have committed crimes and a day of reckoning is coming.

all is not well in the big lie, which is a critical aspect of what the commission is going to look at.

And that commission has become that, that we want independent, respected people to arrange a staff to do some very careful studies, and to tell us what happened on that day, not just what we all know, but who, if anyone, did more? Who…

And I think the nation has a hunger for accountability. And we haven`t had it.

It is impossible in my mind for any responsible public officeholder to vote for acquittal and not to be against our basic form of government.

He proves that our American democracy knows how to throw out the garbage. And that's what we're doing.

This is a transparent effort to interfere with our election process.

He is the enemy of the people. He is the enemy of the state. And if we had time, he should be impeached, so he could never hold office again.

If there is one, that's true that is actually killing people, it's the failure to act on the coronavirus.
