VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear
STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question
VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
