we had considerable evidence with the Tsarnaev brothers of their affiliation with radical Islamic views, their advocacy of those views.

I want to echo some of the concerns that Senator Sessions raised about the groups that we know were targeted by the IRS that are reporting that they have yet to be contacted or interviewed by the FBI.

Well, I would certainly urge the FBI not to narrowly circumscribe the scope, because the last time there was an instance of an administration trying to use the IRS to target political enemies, it was the Nixon administration, and it led to…

President Obama needs to tell the truth. When Richard Nixon tried to use the IRS to target his political enemies it was wrong, and when the Obama administration does it, it's still wrong.

You have spent many decades in public service focused on law enforcement, and indeed, I recall when we were working together at the Department of Justice, almost every day in the morning at staff meeting, the question you would ask was…

the FBI was aware of that, and yet we failed to stop that terrorist attack.

As you know well, in any investigation that is in a highly politicized climate, that involves potentially corruption and political interference from the White House, the investigation is a perilous endeavor and an endeavor of significant…

Madam Speaker, at this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from South Dakota (Mrs. Noem).

Madam Speaker, at this time, I yield 2 minutes to the chairman of the Republican Women's Policy Committee, the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Mrs. Ellmers).

Madam Speaker, I would like to ask how much time is remaining on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Tennessee has 5 minutes remaining, and the gentlewoman from California has 7 minutes remaining.

Madam Speaker, we have no additional speakers. If you want to complete, then I will close. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlelady from California has 4 minutes remaining, and the gentlelady from Tennessee has 5 minutes remaining.

Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This has been an interesting debate, and I have to tell you, we have heard every descriptive adjective that there can possibly be coming from the negative of why our colleagues on…

Madam Chairman, at this time, I yield 2 minutes to one of our bright young attorneys, the gentlelady from Alabama (Mrs. Roby).
