it is insane to spend whatever it is, $60,000, $80,000 a year locking somebody up when for less money, we can try to educate them, give them the training they need to become productive citizens.

We are here today because of the Republican Party's unrelenting effort to get Donald Trump back into office, no matter the facts and no matter the law. For over 1 year, Judiciary Committee Republican colleagues have desperately sought…
