I don't support impeachment. But if this President continues to put himself above the law versus the Congress, as a constitutionalist, you have no choice but to support impeachment then.

I can't conclude that the President's innocent of obstruction of justice. I can't. If I could have found it, if I could say it, I would.
This president lies like he breathes. And he makes his press secretary a liar. He makes his attorney general a liar. He makes his White House physician a liar. It's just -- this is endemic to everything he does. It is in Mr. Trump's DNA.
This White House seems to really have a culture of lying. It just is deeply, deeply dishonest.
I suspect the basis was the president told her to say it. I think that's why she can't walk it back now.
Legally, they may have to do it. But I'm with Joe. I don't support impeachment.
It's a world turned upside- down. They seem to be concerned about telling the truth.
This is Holy Week. You know, Christ, you should know the truth. The truth shall set you free. Apparently, this president, the truth should scare the pants off them.
I strongly believe in it. During the transition before Nancy became speaker, again, I talked to her about this. I asked her about impeachment. She said what do you think? I said I think your imposition is on impeachment is we're all for it…
Speaker Pelosi's doing. She's moving a health care bill. Not a radical one to take over the entire health care but to improve Obamacare and to get prescription drug costs down. I think she's absolutely been brilliant on this.
If I were advising him and if he were still worried about the Mueller report, and if I worked for him I would be, I would find issues that he stands for that are popular with the American people. And repealing Obamacare would take away the…
I think it's tragic that the President stands to put children in cages and to scream some of this racist stuff that he screams about folks who were doing exactly what Steve, you or I would do if our children were being threatened by…
He should sit down with Nancy Pelosi -- he made a great many promises, the wall being the biggest and Mexico was going to pay for it. Mexico is not going to pay for it. He's not going to get it.
If I were in the Trump White House, I would be happy with what Mr. Clyburn said.
It may well be merely political today because he is facing the fight of his life and he has to rally his base.
And to his credit, Barr said that was bad. The case with Trump is very different because Barr said he cannot be indicted and the office of legal counsel has for many years said he cannot be indicted.
Seventy-five percent of Republicans want that report released. In fact, NPR did a poll on this. You know what percentage of Americans think it would be a good idea for the Trump administration to take the report and then release what it…
The attorney general has to step aside if it involves directly the president. That's a pretty common standard that's been happening for many times in other administrations.
This is a completely self-generated shutdown by this president and he's just going to have to lose.
I hope he listens to them. But I'm terribly worried actually that he, for political purposes, is going to try to assert some sort of national security argument for extreme or emergency powers.
They're not violating our laws. They're presenting themselves for asylum at our border and he's trying to say that's a threat to national security so that we're somewhat al Qaeda.
I think this president has been pathetic in how he has addressed that.
I do believe, and I know this from talking to Democratic leaders in the House, they will impeach Donald Trump when Republicans ask him to and not before.
