If the only thing standing between getting voting rights legislation passed and not getting passed is the filibuster, I support making the exception of voting rights for the filibuster.

I don't want to get into specific witnesses at this point but Rudy Giuliani is clearly at the center of a lot of this. The spadework for this phone call may very well have been done by Rudy Giuliani. It appears to me from reading the transcript that the Ukraine President had a pretty good idea of what might happen on this call. And so, why that's the case and how that was communicated to him, we need to find out, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Rudy Giuliani is a part that have answer.

Denying Congress the information, which it is constitutionally entitled to, and obstructing its efforts to investigate actions is not the conduct of an American president. It's an abuse of power, donald Trump will leave Congress, in my view, no choice but to initiate impeachment. That would be a tragedy, but a tragedy of Donald Trump own making.

If he continues to obstruct Congress and flout the law, Donald Trump will leave Congress in my view with no choice but to initiate impeachment proceedings, that would be a tragedy, but a tragedy of his own making.

Every single outlet that's looked at this said there's nothing there there, and me, nor anyone in my family did anything inappropriate. And every major outlet has acknowledged that. I just find it very Trump-like.

Trump is using this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum and is using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me.

Above all else we must defeat Donald Trump period and stop his abuse of power.

Such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta.

If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump's willingness to abuse President Trump power and abase our country. This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our national security for political purposes. It means that President Trump used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation — a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia — pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor, such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta. At minimum, Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress.

I looked at them and said : I'm leaving in six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

Not one single one, and so I have no comment except The President should start to be( the) The President.

Relentless in her pursuit of the truth and steadfast in her commitment to breaking down barriers for women in journalism — our country is better because of it.

Folks, I voted for a fence, i voted, and unlike most Democrats -- some of you wont like this, but I voted for 700 miles.

This was the diving board area, and I was one of the guards, and they werent allowed to -- it was a 3-meter board. And if you fell off sideways, you landed on the damn, er, darn cement over there.

Joe Biden later dismissed concerns about Joe Biden apparent fabrications as irrelevant. That has nothing to do with judgment of whether or not you send troops to war, the judgment of whether you bring someone home, the judgment of whether you decide on a health care policy.

The Democratic Party has an obligation bigger than to The Democratic Party now. This is about more than Democrats, the party has to be bigger than its own interests. We have to unite the country because we're in a position if we don't, no one else is going to fill the world vacuum. If we do, we can make changes that are going to be breathtaking.

I mean look, look -- last night was the closest we came to a debate, OK ? we actually had an open debate on health care, and I felt very good about the debate on health care.
