“Impeachment is the way that we establish that this man will not be permitted to break the law over and over without consequences. This is about Donald Trump. But understand, it’s about the next president and the next president and the next president and the future of this country.” “The idea that we have a president of the United States who is prepared to hold back national security money to one of our allies in order to get dirt on a presidential candidate is beyond comprehension. So I look forward — by the way, not only to a speedy and expeditious, impeachment process but Mitch McConnell has got to do the right thing and allow a free and fair trial in the Senate.” “Our framers imagined this moment, a moment where we would have a corrupt president and our framers then rightly designed our system of democracy to say there will be checks and balances. This is one of those moments.” “We have a constitutional duty to pursue this impeachment. But we also can stand up for America because this president has not been putting America in front of his own personal interests.”
