What we have seen is a president fail to do that in historically dangerous ways.

This is a president guilty of the worst and highest crimes of misdemeanors and, sadly, he played on these people's fears and ignorance.

There's never been a sadder, more serious time for our country, and we don't have to look any further than Liz Cheney to say there's never been a greater betrayal.

I hope that we will be able to show not only our country but, of course, the jury of senators that our president, sadly, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors for which he must be convicted.

They wanted to assassinate the speaker and the vice president, hunt down members of Congress, and they didn't mind killing people in their wake.

Lindsey Graham knows better. He knows that the evidence is, sadly, right before the American public.

It is an indictment of the high crimes and misdemeanors that this president is guilty of, an attack literally on our country.

What I would like to ask about and shift to is something I have been very concerned about, which is the use of shackling of pregnant women while in confinement.

I am worried about my time. Sorry to try to keep it tight.

I appreciate that and the balancing of the urgency of COVID against the assessment of whether a person is appropriate for compassionate release.

When we talk about 18,000 people going to home confinement, they were going there anyway under the protocols as things were happening; they weren't as a result of COVID release.

I thought this was a serious body here to talk about governing and protecting public health and protecting public safety, and not a campaign commercial.

Your ballot is secure, up against a president who says, 'Get rid of these ballots.'

I want to ask you, and this is really just from constituents who text me, call me. They are fearful for their vote.

We need to make sure that the hiring panels are diverse themselves.

We know that diversity is our strength.

I wanted to first quickly ask a follow-up to the question that Representative Green asked about the news reporting of September 5th, that the Trump Administration had instructed Federal agencies to end racial sensitivity trainings.

The NCUA would be willing to consider and provide administrative assistance to Congress if they, in fact, make the self-assessments mandatory.

Have you now called for law enforcement to stop using these chemical irritants on protesters? Yes or no.

Tragically, what happened in Lafayette Square is no longer an isolated incident.

Is it your opinion, Mr. Barr, that clearing protesters from Lafayette Square... was coincidence?

The timing is clear. Multiple local officials also confirmed the point of clearing the square.

If you will take a look at the timeline we have compiled, we see that you were spotted in Lafayette Square at 6:10 p.m.

I am not actually thinking about markets or where they participate.

I want to raise this issue with you today.
