Well, if you think his impeachable behavior, impeach him. He didn't do anything to obstruct justice, Clinton did. He lost his law license for five years.

Obstruction of justice in this case to me is absurd because the President cooperated fully. So if the House wants to keep doing this, if I were the president I'd fight like hell.

Well, I would if I were him. He cooperated with Special Counsel Mueller. And I guess Nixon must not have cooperated with the special counsel. I consider what the House is doing a political exercise and they won't let it go. And if they…

You did, is that correct?

I ask unanimous consent to speak on behalf of Senator Hollings' passing, along with my colleague Senator Scott from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Thank you. Mr. President, Senator Scott and I have come to the floor today to recognize a legend in South Carolina and this body, Senator Fritz Hollings, who passed away on April 6 in Isle of Palms, SC. He was 97. He loved Isle of Palms…

Barr was asked by Lindsey Graham today why the Trump campaign wasn't advised for foreign interference.

Nothing can be done to -- to diminish or stain his service-- to this country.

I thank Senator Schumer. I appreciate getting this done quickly. I will just say, there are a lot of Americans, including Jim Jordan, who believe that what happened in 2016 with the Clinton email investigation and the FISA warrant against…

I will try to be very brief as far as where I am coming from here. We were told that Mueller may be imminently fired. The President said some things that were at times disturbing about the investigation. I was asked many times, let's make…

Let's just say for a moment that he took some money out of the military construction budget. I would say it's better for the middle school kids in Kentucky to have a secure border. We'll get them the school they need. But right now, we've…

we are now debating the nomination of Mr. Barr to be the Attorney General. All I can say is if America ever needed a steady hand at the Department of Justice, it is now. Mr. Whitaker has done a good job as interim Attorney General, but we…

the Committee on the Judiciary has adopted rules governing its procedures for the 116th Congress. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 2, of the Standing Rules of the Senate, on behalf of myself and Ranking Member Feinstein, I ask unanimous…

I just got off the phone with the President. I told him we were talking about a 3-week CR. All of us believe that if we had 3 weeks with the government open and all the discord coming from a shutdown, that we could find a way forward to…

I think that's what they meant by high crimes. Doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people you've committed a high crime.

I will be quick. I know we have a lot to do before we vote, but if you are from South Carolina, you have a lot to be happy about today. If you watched the football game last night, I thought you saw a real display of college football. I am…

Well, I just want to state that this has been a long struggle. Most Americans, all things being equal, would like to get all of our troops home. The Middle East is a very complicated place. I share the President's desire to withdraw our…

One of two things will happen. No. 1, the Syrian Democratic Forces had a very ethical view of treating prisoners. I was astonished at the compliance with law and their desire to take their enemies and treat them better than they were…

Do you remember being told that thousands of ISIS fighters had gone back into the fabric of Syria and that they will reemerge under the right conditions?

Did anyone suggest to you that the war against ISIS in Syria was over and had been won?

Did they also not say that the Syrian Democratic Forces were some of the best allies we had since 9/11?

I ask unanimous consent to be recognized along with my colleague from New Hampshire, Senator Shaheen, to enter into a colloquy. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from New Hampshire. ____________________

I thank my colleague from New Hampshire. Let me ask the question, when we went to Syria and Iraq together, did anyone in the military suggest to you that withdrawing in the foreseeable future was a good idea?

If Obama had made this decision, Republicans would be all over him.

I don't know. I think it's going to define the relationship that I think is true. And, you know, we tolerate bad behavior, that's part of politics at time but this is an ally. If you get in the orbit of the United States, if you want to…
