Orrin Hatch President Quotations

Where they make phone calls and whether the president raises money or not is one thing. The way they've done it seems to be unethical, illegal, (and) in poor taste, ... Were foreign influences trying to influence the election?

No, no. I think we have to proceed with the hearings, but we'll have to see. We'll have to see what the president decides to do here,

I don't know anybody at the top of the system, ... who really wants to see the president hurt in this matter.

I'm flying blind here. I guess it makes sense that she's a qualified conservative. I can't imagine the President appointing an loose canon ignoramus just because he knew them. I guess we'll find out after she's installed.

If he comes forth and tells it and does it in the right way and there aren't a lot of other factors to cause the Congress to say this man is unfit for the presidency and should be impeached, then I think the president would have a reasonable chance of getting through this,

A lot of my fellow conservatives are concerned, but they don't know her as I do, ... She's going to basically do what the president thinks she should, and that is be a strict constructionist.
