You cannot look at this case without feeling, a deep sadness, but a deeper anger, a deeper anger that this country was jeopardized to the extent it has been in the past two years.
-- Speaker #1
Conspiracies are not born in the sunlight of direct observation. They are hatched in dark recesses, amid whispers and code words and verbal signals. The footprints of guilt must often be traced with the searchlight of probability....If you went to sleep with the ground outside here, and woke up with fresh snow on the ground, certainly you would reasonably conclude that snow had fallen during the night even if you did not see it. So let us not labor under the misapprehension that because some of the evidence available to us is circumstantial it is therefore inadequate.
-- Speaker #2
In sum, [for two years he] has tried to hide incriminating evidence about his involvement and that of his aides in [criminal acts and covering them up] -- first, by attempting to prevent such investigations, by encouraging, witnesses to lie about the incriminating evidence.
-- Speaker #3
The thing that is so appalling to me is that.., when this whole idea was suggested to him, [he] didn't in righteous indignation rise up and say -- "Get out of here. You, are [prominent, powerful and wealthy]. How can you [entertain committing such crimes]?..." -- and throw them out [on their asses,] pick up the phone; and [report them.]

Obviously, Part II is easier to answer than is Part I, so I don't actually expect folks to guess Part I right. I'm well aware that if one is of a mind to Google for them, one can get them.
What's astounding is that the world in which we live has devolved to the point that the remarks above (albethey edited by me so as not to give away about whom they refer), can conceivably be said of so many people having influence, wealth and power.
