If there are members of Congress -- and I think there are -- that have relevant information about the planning of that day, that were on the phone with the president during that day, that can shed light on what the president knew, when he…

No one is off the table. We`re going to determine what went wrong in the lead up to January 6, we`re going to find out who was involved who was knowledgeable, what roles they played in the planning, what expectation they had of violence…

Our committee has been unanimous really on all the steps we have taken. There is a remarkable degree of commonality in terms of wanting to get to the truth, being ready to use whatever tools, tactics, techniques we have to get to the truth.

We do have tools that we didn’t have in the last administration in that we can also hold people in criminal contempt and make a referral to the Justice Department.

One of the central objectives of our committee is to write a comprehensive report with recommendations about how do we prevent this from happening again.

But we will. And we will take a very broad view of our responsibilities.

the committee may well consider criminal referrals for anybody who obstructs the committee`s work or who specifically refuses a subpoena.

He doesn’t want the country to know.

It would be against type to expect anything else of the former president.

It shouldn`t matter who the President of the United States is. We should want that President not to be able to abuse that office to enrich themselves.

This bill is really modeled after what Congress did post-Watergate when they enact enacted a whole series of reforms designed to address the abuses that took place during the Nixon administration.

It strengthens penalties for violating the Hatch Act so that the White House can’t hold a political convention on White House grounds or dragoon federal employees into campaign workers.

It is not that complicated. The current posse comitatus laws prohibit violation of this rule against using the military for law enforcement purposes but apply it only to two branches of the military, the Army and the Air Force. This would…

I believe I have the right to close on this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is correct.

I will now close. This amendment is quite simple. It would extend the posse comitatus law to all branches of the military so it is not abused. This is not about defunding the police. That is the usual red herring argument when there is no…

I would simply point out that this amendment permits these judges to broadcast the proceedings so that people can witness them. It doesn't mandate that this be done in every case. I think these judges ought to have the discretion to do so…

The past 18 months have been difficult for all of us. But through the hardship, Americans have found solace and serenity in our beautiful public lands. Back home in Los Angeles, the Rim of the Valley Corridor stands out as a jewel of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle C of title V, add the following new section: SEC. 5__. EXCLUSION OF EVIDENCE…

This amendment clarifies the authority of military commission judges to order court processing at Guantanamo to be broadcast over the internet. This is a straightforward, noncontroversial amendment that the House has passed twice by voice…

We’re going to be making a series of recommendations on how to protect our democracy going forward from efforts like the one that you just heard described where they would flout the spirit of the law and put our country into a…

I continue to reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Alabama does have the right to close.

I urge a ``yes'' vote on this amendment to increase transparency into the proceedings in Guantanamo and allow the victims of 9/11 to observe the proceedings, as many of them would like to, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle C of title X, insert the following: SEC. 1024. PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF…

It shouldn`t matter who the president of the United States is. We should want that president not to be able to abuse that office to enrich themselves.

Well, first, Lawrence, I just want to say how refreshing it is to see Zelensky finally get that White House meeting and with President Biden. After all, it was Trump`s effort to try to sneer Biden, to try to weaken him as a political…
