Mark Warner

It is going into the Wisconsin floodplain and then the Illinois floodplain.

The rainfall amounts and intensities of the storms are increasing, and it is a trend.

I still think he would provide a great service. As much as I would like every one of the 320-odd million Americans ought to read the 400-page report, I don't think they all will.

This is, in a sense, how conflict is going to take place in the 21st century. And we in our country have not done enough to protect ourselves on a going-forward basis.

We ought to make sure that there are some rules of the road around Facebook in particular, so there's not the ability of Russians or others to create fake identities, to manipulate our political process.

I don't think it does, Anderson. And it frankly blows my mind that we had a few weeks ago, the FBI director say that the Russians will be back.

I rise in celebration of Public Service Recognition Week, a time to honor public servants at all levels of government for their dedication and outstanding service to this Nation. Since 2010, I have taken to the Senate floor to honor our…

Part of our investigation has always been about following the facts, where the truth lies, and was there -- what level of collaboration or collusion was there between Trump officials and Trump campaign and the Russians.

The Congress has the right to provide oversight, including over all aspects of the executive branch, including the president and the law's got to be followed.

Well, I hope the White House would cooperate. I mean, Congress is a co-equal branch of government. We have a right to receive this information.

Right, all we have to try to do with the trust fund is to get it back to the status quo.

Respectfully, I disagree.

I would like to see him stay to make sure that there is someone who is vested in Mueller finishing the job, doing it independently and making sure that the American people get the facts.

I have real concerns about Bill Barr being the attorney general since he seemed to have lobbied for the job by showing that he wants to undermine the special prosecutor and that he feels that the President is not subject to the laws of the…

Well, listen, that is a legitimate question to ask. What did the President know? When did he know it? We've had this evidence throughout the whole Trump campaign where Donald Trump refused to ever say a bad word about Russia, about…

I believe that clearly Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign chairman, shared confidential polling information with a known Russian agent, Mr. Kilimnik. And what we don't know is what did the Russians do with this information.

This appears as the closest we've seen yet to real live actual collusion. Clearly, Manafort was trying to collude with Russian agents. And the question is what did the President know? What did Donald Trump know about this exchange of…

I think there is a lot of interest in seeing how we can improve this system.

I think we need stronger rules about beneficial ownership.

But if we are talking about $8 billion and how we spend it better, if there was a way through AI with privacy protection for the banks to actually share information, would not that be helpful too?

But, again, you are going to come back to--your emphasis is going to be more data is always better, right?

I would also love for us to see if we could get some analysis because, again, I am not sure that simply raising the threshold makes that much--but I would be curious to know how many of these entities fall between--we will use Senator…

I have seen estimates that we are talking about the cost to the financial system of about $8 billion.

I think a lot of us desperately want to get to a better solution.

I raised this issue as a constitutional red line a year ago about Mueller. They've all, on private and publicly reassured me that they think Mueller will be able to finish his job.
