All of you agree that China has the most leverage of anybody in the world regarding North Korea.

Everybody believe that? I believe that is true too, because if I were them, why would you?

Do you believe that if the North Koreans believe that military force is not an option to stop their missile program, they will most certainly move forward?

So here is the dilemma for the United States. We have the worst human rights violator in the world about to acquire a missile to hit the American Homeland.

If nothing changes, is it just a matter of time until North Korea has an ICBM that can hit America with a nuclear weapon on top?

We will ask her all questions about Russia what she knew about Trump ties. Was it an administration effort to unmask people for political purposes, we're going to get to all things Russia, in terms of what the administration did and what…

I write to express my strong recommendation for the U.S. Government to continue its support to build democratic institutions in Myanmar.

Look, if we end up just approving judges by, you know, majority vote, they're going to be more ideological.

Yeah, this is going to be very bad. Let me tell you what's going to happen. The judges have become more ideological because you don't have to reach across out to get one vote any longer. This is going to haunt the Senate, it's going to…

I think the whole episode is bizarre. If he did in fact receive intel from White House staffers, to then go brief the president is a bit odd.

The bottom line is, if there were any contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian intelligence services that were inappropriate, I want to find out about it and I want the whole world to know about it.

I don't know what he has to offer. I wouldn't give immunity to somebody unless I knew they had something to offer.

The more we can justify the money we spend and what we get for our money, the more money will be available to us.

One of the first decrees that Mr. Putin signed on his inauguration day... was the request of the Foreign Ministry to stop the Magnitsky Act.

They are definitely looking for honesty and they are looking for Western democracies to abide by the principles that you preach.

The question of human rights and political freedoms are not internal affairs.

If we just ignore this and move on, what kind of signal are we sending?

The Russian Federation and extremist political parties in the countries we are talking about.

Let me be perfectly clear. Vladimir Putin's Russia has made this a zero-sum game. Where democracies prosper in its neighborhood, it loses.

The goal of the United States was crystallized by George H.W. Bush in May of 1989 to build and maintain a 'Europe whole and free.'

An attack on one is an attack on all.

Nor does it help when many in Congress act as if Russia's interference in our elections is not important.

It does not help when our own president, who has bragged about his business dealings in Russia--a place where doing business is often synonymous with bribery--refuses to release his tax returns.

It does not help when our own President extols the virtues of someone like Vladimir Putin, who has murdered his political opponents and rules like an authoritarian dictator.

He can get away with it because he has simultaneously and systematically silenced his critics.
