I see the Senator from the Finance Committee is here. I will not take but a couple of moments. I appreciate the comments of the Senator from Tennessee. She agrees we ought to make sure there is not foreign intervention in our elections…

I thank my friend, the Senator from New York, the minority leader, and I agree with him. This is really unfortunate timing. I can't imagine--I always thought that in today's political environment, you always think yesterday's could be the…

I am deeply disappointed that the majority has rejected this request before I can even lay out why I think it is needed. My request was to take up and pass the filed S. 1562, as amended. This legislation is pretty simple, even for this…

I ask unanimous consent that the Rules Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 1562 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; that the Warner substitute at the desk be agreed to; that the bill, as amended, be…

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…

In reserving the right to object, I would simply point out to my colleague from Kentucky that the intelligence community, in its January 2017 report, reached a unanimous conclusion. That conclusion was that Russia massively interfered in…

2 weeks ago, after almost 2 years, Special Counsel Mueller filed his report with the Attorney General. The Attorney General sent us a short letter that summarized the major findings of the report. A summary is not going to cut it. The…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mueller Report

in closing, I hope we can move past this. The President himself has called for the release of the report. In a rare stroke of unanimity, the House voted 420 to 0. I think many in this body would like to move beyond this issue. The only way…

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.

First of all, Madam President, I want to thank my colleague from West Virginia, Senator Capito, for her comments. I know shortly we are going to hear from the Senator from Pennsylvania. We heard from the Senator from Ohio. This is…

I appreciate the bipartisan conversation that is going on with the chair, and I hope more of that will go on. That really is a little bit of why I rise today, because I hope and pray that if there--while we have many legitimate policy…

I rise today to oppose the nomination of William Barr to be the Attorney General, a nomination that the Senate will be taking up later today. I have a number of concerns about the nominee on policy grounds. I echo what my colleagues on the…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Blackburn). Without objection, it is so ordered. Nomination of William Barr

Respectfully, I disagree.

let me first of all echo the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. We will never fully know what was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, but I do believe that under the leadership of the Senator from Alaska 16 of…

I appreciate my friend, the Senator from Maryland, yielding time. I appreciate the fact that this may be the first time, at least in the last few weeks, where a group of Senators from both sides of the aisle are actually coming together to…

let me thank the Senator from Alaska for her comments and my dear friend from Virginia for his comments. I am going to somewhat echo what has already been said, but what I don't understand--and for those who are listening or viewing, the…
