This would do lasting damage - putting someone on the court in the last months of a Trump presidency, would do lasting damage to the legitimacy of the court.

Washington was right. Trump is wrong.

Ninety thousand pages we produced, 90,000. Mr. Trump and his White House produced zero.

This is an accusation, I think, proved, but I'm a Democrat, that the president subordinated national security to solicit a bribe.

I just - I think this is going to do real damage to the Senate.

It's actually, honestly, in McConnell's interest, in the Senate's interest, more importantly, to have a fair trial that - that average American watches that and says 'OK, that's fair.'

It's why Rudy needs to be under oath. It's why Mr. Mulvaney needs to be under oath.

Support the Democrats on these things like maybe childcare, maybe roads and bridges.

He needs a lot more than that. I mean it.

Don't lie. It seems simple but, you know, you teach your children that, we should teach our presidents that.

I think if he defies the Supreme Court order, it changes everything.

Because it's criminality today, criminality tomorrow, criminality forever. The guy is a one-man crime wave.

I think it's unlikely to include Mueller. I don't feel supporting it.

If you believe as the Democrats do that this President is a recidivist, that there's not a coincidence, as Congressman Swalwell told you, that the day after Mueller testified he was on the phone trying --

I think each of them executed on their strategies.

He has an obligation. You can't refuse a subpoena. This is still supposed to be the rule of law. When you're subpoenaed, you have to show.

They attacked the process, they attacked Joe Biden's kids, they attacked all manner of things, but they never said he doesn't do it so they're left with saying well, he did it but it's not impeachable.

The Senate is full of Republicans as well as Democrats who helped craft that whistleblower law, most particularly Chuck Grassley.

You can't refuse a subpoena. This is still supposed to be the rule of law. When you're subpoenaed, you have to show.

The order went to the Budget Department to hold up this money. We have a right to know.

That now we have not just hearsay but allegedly a first-person witness, who can put the president in the position of personally ordering up an investigation of his political rivals.

The path to the Democratic nomination lies through African Americans, especially black women, and I went back today and looked. Since 1968, since they started having primaries in my party, the winner of the black vote has always been the…

The Democrats need to make sure that the country understands that our security is being played with here, allegedly, in this case.

Trump's favorables are dropping there a lot.

He may win it because we're just irredeemably partisan now, and that - that there's no - the - the Shooter Man on Fifth Avenue prediction turns out to be right.
