Wrong and how to prevent that from happening again. >> the barriers around the capitol complex came down not too long ago, and how safe do you feel right now, senator, working on capitol hill? >> i personally feel safe. im glad the barriers are no longer there. i love when constituents and people can interact with congress, and i am concerned for police officers every day, and i drive in and see they are standing outside and cars are coming in and its not an easy job. im concerned for law enforc...

This is not about fact finding. this is the democrat anti-donald trump campaign being paid for by tax dollars manifesting as a fraudulent investigation and of course, harris, this continues to effect the legitimacy of government as a whole, whether or not american people can trust what congress is doing, and this puts another stake in that heart. and if you want antics, i think its pretty clear that this is part of that. >> harris: republican senator pat toomey went after democrats saying theyre...

Diffuse, dilute what the select committee will discover? >> i think mr. mccarthy poorly pulled his hand when he pulled all five, when two disqualified themselves by being leaders of a clown car. mr. mccarthy by pulling all five and suggesting maybe hell have his own commission, that will be political theater and antics. he should feel the responsibility as leader of his conference to participate, to help out, to say i will do everything in my power including testifying as to what i know for the ...

When they act up, you can take them off. i said, why should we waste time on something as predictable? it is my responsibility as speaker of the house to make sure we get to the truth on this, and we will not let their antics stand in the way of that. >> donna, liz cheneys presence on this committee makes it bishop, even if no other republicans are appointed. do they have a better chance of getting to the truth without mccarthys fix? >> i do think that speaker pelosi was right on this because we...
