... We know that Deutsche Bank is one of the biggest money laundering banks in the country, or in the world perhaps. And we know that this is the only bank that will lend money to the president of the United States because of his past practices. He won't show his tax returns and we have a certain information that leads us to believe that there may have been some money laundering activity that might have been connected with Mr. Manafort, with some people in his family ...

... I think we need to learn more about the finances of the president of the United States, and he's hiding that information from us. He's not disclosing that information. And I think we need to delve deeper into that and find out what is going on and whether or not money laundering has been involved and whether or not there are connections with the oligarchs of Russia ...

... this is a problematic president who has proven that he has taken advantage of others in the past. I know that he was fined and I do know that the attorney general of New York made him reimburse at least $25 million. We know that he has had bankruptcies. We know that there are a lot of stories he hasn't paid contractors, he hasn't paid subcontractors. We know a lot about the history of this president and it doesn't look good ... So, we think that in addition to what Mr. Mueller is doing and now what we are able to do with our subpoena power, we'll find out more ...

... I'm not waiting (for) permission to say what I really feel and understand about this president and how he has defined himself before our very eyes.

Even before Mueller completes his investigation, and before the House begins subpoenas and investigations, it is indisputable that Trump has committed impeachable offenses. The public simply hasn't had it all neatly tied up for them, and thus are not yet applying sufficient pressure on Congress (especially the Senate).

Impeachment is coming.
