I think the President's budget is an ideological statement based on the faith of government making decisions as opposed to individuals making decisions.

I believe that Loretta Lynch will be an outstanding Attorney General.

Transparency, I believe, and, in fact, does bring accountability.

The public's business ought to be public.

The Department's own Inspector General listed as one of its top management challenges 'Restoring Confidence in the Integrity, Fairness, and Accountability of the Department.'

The Department has also failed to hold another Government agency accountable: the Internal Revenue Service.

What are the outer limits of the doctrine of prosecutorial discretion, and why don't the President's actions exceed those boundaries?

Not only is this action contrary to our laws, it is a dangerous abuse of Executive authority.

The Attorney General has been openly contemptuous of the oversight responsibilities of a co-equal branch of Government.

You suggested earlier that prosecutorial discretion allows the administration to prioritize removal of criminal aliens from the country.

That is disgraceful.

This suggests the administration is not prioritizing the removal of criminal aliens very well.

I have discussed the case with Attorney General Holder, had a couple of telephone conversations.

I hope that when we are done here that you do not get this attitude that the way this chaotic place is run, why should you be working with a Congress of the United States that does not always work this way.

In my opinion, one of the Attorney General's biggest mistakes was not following through on the President's promise to be the most transparent administration in history.

When 64,000 pages are supposedly privileged, then I wonder, what does the President know about it if they can be protected that way?

the Congress refused to pass what the President wanted to do.

I feel very, very confident in voting for Loretta Lynch as Attorney General.
