"Now, may--you said everyone agrees the pardon prerogatives of a President, absolute, unfettered, unchecked power to pardon every violator of every Federal law."

"I want Judge Kavanaugh to have access so that we can ask him these questions under oath and he can see them."

"Well, as you know--you know, it is a fact I voted for a lot of Republican nominees."
