whistleblowers perform a valuable service to the agency and to the public

I just want to reiterate, should you be confirmed, that we would want your cooperation as this Committee continues to pursue all activities related to Russia's 2016 intervention in our presidential elections.

I doubt if we could even get to 25 on--but please, the last two comments.

I want to do tax reform. I want to bring our corporate rates much lower.

It is very bothersome to me that Jared Kushner has forgotten not once, not twice, but three times to put down this information.

I think we managed to try to scoop a lot of those back in back in 2008.

I commend in terms of moving up to 250, and I even say there may be regional banks that would be even slightly higher that might be afforded some relief.

It is great to be asking somebody a question that does not have to deal with Russia.

Assembled leadership of the intelligence community. Do you believe that the January 2017 intelligence community assessment accurately characterized the extent of Russian activities in the 2016 election, and its conclusion that Russian…

He has changed his story repeatedly. But, again, this is a pattern that we've seen from a host of Trump officials where they deny any kind of contact with Russians until they see proof, until proof is shown.

You can't call a rookie mistake not having the knowledge that if you got an e-mail that acknowledges that at least on its face says we've got information that's part of a Russian government effort to try to help his father, anyone with a…

I think those are starting to be connected now. I think there will be more to come. But it is a grave concern to me that you've got the senior most officials in the Trump campaign actively at least soliciting or being willing to accept at…

this is a dramatic step forward in the investigation and is the first time the public has seen clear evidence that not only was there an organized Russian government effort that the intelligence committee has already validated to reach out…

It's also a continuing pattern that we've seen since the election of Trump campaign and Trump administration officials who have conveniently forgotten meetings with Russians, only when they are then presented with evidence they have to…

I urge my friend, the Senator from Delaware, to get to the train station. First of all, I wish to thank Senator Heitkamp for bringing this group together. There has been a lot of talk about what ideas can fix the Affordable Care Act, and…

Russia's blatant interference in the United States' 2016 presidential elections was unprecedented in both scale and scope.

let me join my colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee and not only express my concern about how we got here, but also acknowledge that an awful lot of folks in Virginia and a lot of decent folks in North Carolina and folks across the…

But let's be clear. DHS INA requires a strong leader.

I think it is the first time since 1945 that Europeans might likely see Angela Merkel right now as leader of the West, not President Trump.

American companies--European companies shouldn't have advantages to sell into the Russian market that American companies do not have.

Thank you, Mr. President. Again, I am here joining my Democratic colleagues from the Senate Finance Committee. I believe that folks in Virginia and, for that matter, folks across the country got a reprieve today when the majority leader…

Russia has provided support and financial assistance to the far-right party of Marine Le Pen in France in a very blatant and obvious way.

I thought that was an irresponsible statement.

Russia's goal is to sow chaos and confusion, to fuel internal disagreements, and to undermine democracies whenever possible.

I think the American people should have a better sense of how our reputation and standing in the global community has been impacted by our failure to acknowledge that Russia attempted to manipulate an election for the President of the…
