I would be concerned if any speech to Congress related any information that's new to the president of the United States.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do expect that the President will say something at the beginning of his remarks today, at the conversation.
If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace, I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.
Most of the things that need to be said about the President are things he can't say himself.
The president has a right to discuss his national security policies with the public. But that should be done in the light of day without endangering our sources or methods. The public has no need to know details about intelligence assets or special operations units. Such disclosures endanger those who protect us.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
I thought we were to discuss a referral which we believe contains substantial and credible information of potential impeachable offenses by the President of the United States.
Most of what we report from Congress they don't care about unless it affects them directly.
I think if more members of Congress would talk about what they see and what they want to do and what they want to accomplish, rather than talking about their opponent, we would begin to shape and reshape American public opinion on what the political world looks like.
There is something about hearing your president affirm your humanity that you don't know what effect it has until you hear it.
I think it's appropriate in America for anyone to speak out and say what their reaction is to the president's State of the Union speech.
