[Ads-l] Appeal for Notable Quotations of 2019

[Bonnie Taylor-Blake]

"When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: In 2019,

the sidelines and say nothing?"

-- Rep. Elijah Cummings, 27 February 2019, in comments to then-witness
Michael Cohen, during Cohen's appearance before the House Oversight
Committee.
