ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:
SEKULOW: “Chairman Nadler talked about treacherous. At about 12:10 a.m., January 22nd, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee at this body, on the floor of this Senate, said executive privilege and other nonsense. Now, think about that for a moment. Executive privilege and other nonsense. Mr. Nadler, it is not nonsense. These are privileges recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States, and to shred the Constitution on the floor of the Senate, to serve what purpose? The Senate is not on trial. The Constitution doesn’t allow what just took place. Look what we’ve dealt with for the last, now, 13 hours, and we hopefully are closing the proceedings but not on a very high note. Only guilty people try to hide evidence, so I guess when President Obama instructed his attorney general to not give information, he was guilty of a crime. That’s the way it works, Mr. Nadler? Is that the way you view the United States Constitution? Because that’s not the way it was written, that is not the way it’s interpreted, and that is not the way the American people should have to live.”
