I used the word 'extortion' deliberately, Anderson, because you accurately recall, inexplicably, President Trump decided to suspend almost a quarter of a billion dollars of foreign military aid to Ukraine.

I am one, Anderson, who has called for the revival of inherent contempt. I think Congress has to enforce its own subpoenas and demands for documents by having a menu of disciplines -- disciplinary action against those would refuse to…

Well, the only remedy, Anderson, in front of us frankly is going to be impeachment.

Well, I think Congress is going to have to defend the institution, the constitutional role of Congress to provide oversight and accountability of any executive branch.

If we do, the precedent we set for future presidents is chilling.

He basically said that we're done with cooperating with any subpoenas, any subpoenas involving any of these investigations with the Congress. You don't get to do that as the chief executive of the United States government. You must respect…

I'll take Don McGahn any day over the word of Donald Trump.

The only thing we know in direct quotes through the Barr summary is that Mueller said I couldn't conclude a crime had been committed by the president with respect to obstruction of justice, but neither could I exonerate him, unquote.

Look, Democrats have been consistent all along, long before the Mueller report was in fact written or completed that whatever he had to say, the public and the Congress deserved to have the full report.

I think we're very concerned, Anderson, that as time goes by, a certain narrative that may be highly inaccurate sets in, and that narrative, of course, the one the president has propounded, that full exoneration, nothing to see here, let's…

But are we going to now accept that it is normal in presidential campaigns, for a whole campaign team to have 100 contacts with a foreign adversary, whom they knew was trying to disrupt our election and tilt it? That's just business as…

This report says, and he quotes from Mueller, one of the few times he does, while this report does not conclude the President committed a crime. It also does not exonerate him, to finish that sentence, from committing a crime.

I think that, to a layman's ear, looks like collusion.

I don't think it's hypocritical at all to say I do stand by the integrity of Robert Mueller, but I also want to see the full report.

This report says, and he quotes from Mueller, one of the few times he does, while this report does not conclude the President committed a crime. It also does not exonerate him, to finish that sentence, from committing a crime.

I think it's unseemly for a federal judge to express the sentiments he expressed at the time. He should have recused himself frankly from the trial given his attitude.

I believe it's possible that both things are true, that he directed his attorneys at the time when the White House was dangling the possibility of pardons to explore that.

Well, look, I have grave reservations about asking an administration of a president who's at 9,000 lies and counting according to the 'Washington Post' to be the adjudicator of the truth in any circumstance.

I think clearly there is a concerted effort from the White House led by Mr. Trump and his hired gun Rudy Giuliani to not only discredit this witness, but to -- by insinuation and no proof, bring even more attention to the Cohen family and…

I think it's highly likely, and I personally do support issuing a subpoena to compel the testimony.

If they haven't crossed that line, they've come perilously close. And their behavior, ironically, when they're talking about the mob, looks a lot like how mob behavior looks like. And it's a shameful moment when the presidency of the…

Yes, I think -- they went on television and did this. And it's had an impact, and I think it is absolutely worthy of examination by the special prosecutor before he completes his work.

I think you're seeing fear coming out of Mr. Trump and his White House because they know how much Mr. Cohen knows and they know how important his relationship was with the Trump Organization.
