I would recognize myself for 10 seconds. The distinguished gentleman from Maryland can have an opinion, but he can't have his facts. Fast and Furious was an OCDETF operation that began under President Obama and Attorney General Holder. No…
I yield myself 10 seconds, and have no doubt that the gentleman will walk off the floor. But his motion is asking us also to delay, into an election, getting an answer for the Terry family. I know that is not the wise course, and I…

Reclaiming my time, it's pretty clear you are disparaging me, and you are disparaging me by making a claim that's untrue. The bottom line is, in committee, witnesses were told that they need not answer questions that were not the subject…
