Relief measures congressre has passed there was 150 billion sent to the state and local governments, much of which have yet to be spent and frankly we dont know what the actual need is until we have a better sense of what the revenue loss is to the state and local governments. They are sounding the alarm and justifiably worried about what happens if the downturn in the economy continues and what that dght mean for their revenues. So, they are looking to washington, d. C. For assistance, and i th...

Colleagues have come to the floor and spoken here or elsewhere about the importance of providing assistance to state and local governments, and that if that doesnt happen that theyre there are going to be police officers, First Responders and people who have essential jobs that we rely on every single day and for whom were so grateful, that wouldnt be able to get paid. I would just point out that already as part of the Coronavirus Relief measures that congress has passed, there was 150 billion s...

Them have generated some degree of a bipartisan controversy in the past and the attorney general just wanted to underscore again the importance of these provisions that were enacted in the wake of the 911 attacks and they are still relevant to our effort to go after terrorists today just like they were after 911. There is a tendency with the passage of time for these measures to lose support because you have been so successful. We have had animal attacks here at home from foreigners and these to...

Whatsoever. They made the argument that it makes sense to try the case and then consider documents. They made no argument that the white make sense to have trial without witnesses are and why, because its indefensible. Its indefensible. No trial in america has ever been conducted like that, and so you would nothing about it. And that should be the most telling thing about councils argument.

In the house impeachment inquiry. No president in history has ever done anything like this. Many president s have expressed they couldnt do anything like this. President trump did not take these extreme steps to hide evidence of his innocence or to protect the institution of the presidency.
