The President's comments today, again casting doubt on whether Russia was behind the blatant interference in our election and suggesting – his own intelligence agencies to the contrary – that nobody really knows, continue to directly undermine U.S. interests.

Nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the Trump campaign.

We need to consider that the military challenge is part of a larger national strategy by China to project its power and to secure its national interests by whatever means necessary.

I've expressed my concerns to them with prior requests that( House Republicans) are going to keep asking until they get' no' for an answer because they just want to have a fight with the Justice Department, the Justice Department is going to be in a no-win situation.

The legal problem for the president is telling false statements about this is evidence of a consciousness of guilt, seemed abundantly clear he was denying knowledge of this payment, both past and present. Why would he be doing that unless he was aware that what he had done was wrong, what he had done was a violation of campaign law?

Clearly, there's an expectation there on the Russian side that they may now have success with the Magnitsky Act, given that the prior meeting and communications dealt with the offer of help, it certainly seems like the Russians were ready for payback.

As I understand it, this particular conversation for which they were claiming privilege took place after the emails became public, and, was therefore focused more on the reaction to the publication of the emails.

The Republicans haven't stopped the investigation, it's just the Russia piece they don't want to do anymore.

They are now doing a complete about-face and have flip-flopped on this.

All of that bares the issue of collusion, and of course, one of the most important parts of an investigation is putting the pieces together.

The FBI had ample reason to believe that Carter Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power based on Carter Page history, including the fact that Carter Page had previously been a target of Russian recruitment, Carter Page travel to Russia, and other information, the renewals of FISA were also appropriate and based on new information obtained by law enforcement.

The president decided the public deserved to see the Nunes memo before he ’d even read it, so he ought to be similarly eager for the American people to see this memo. Given the Adam Schiff memo is based on the same underlying documents as the Republican’s partisan memo, there should be no question as to whether or not the president will approve the new memo’s release. If Adam Schiff refuses, the American people will be forced to wonder : what is the president trying to hide ?

There was a bias, but the evidence was so overwhelming, the application was granted anyway.

With this latest gambit, however, the Majority seeks to selectively and misleadingly characterize classified information in an effort to protect the President at any cost.

Regrettably, it has been necessary for Democrats to draft our own memorandum, setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans ’ document so that members of the House are not left with an erroneous impression of the dedicated professionals at the FBI and DOJ.

In light of the selective leaks of Mr. Simpson’s testimony and misleading manner in which Fusion GPS’ role has been characterized, I support releasing the transcript.

It appears Republicans want to conduct just enough interviews to give the impression of a serious investigation.

I think there's a hope that if they can impeach Christopher Steele, and they can impeach the FBI and DOJ, maybe they can impeach the whole Russia investigation.
