Thomas Perez has owned up to this being his voice.

There was a quid pro quo. There was a trade of $180 million worth of revenue to the American people in return for dropping a case that your Justice Department did not want to go before the High Court.

If the gentlelady wants to put in things about how great Thomas Perez is, we are perfectly willing to say yes.

The case going to the U.S. Supreme Court was over as a result.

Mr. Attorney General, Thomas Perez falsely stated to our Committee that he had apparently none, then 1, then 2, then 34, then 35 emails that violated the Federal Records Act.

This was the targeting of the President's political enemies effectively, and lies about it during the election year so that it wasn't discovered until afterwards.

If there's any one gain that we can do in any one way to be able to honor those that have fallen is that we actually do learn the lesson and we protect our diplomats with what is required.

But I support every improvement that can possibly be made to improve our security overseas, including increasing the training of our personnel.

These are legitimate questions, and I wanted to know the answers myself.

The Secretary of State was just wrong. She said she did not participate in this, and yet only a few months before the attack she outright denied security and her signature in a cable in April 2012.

The fact is that our Nation's top military commanders have already testified repeatedly that they did everything in their power.

I think that's a good balance.

I appreciate that. One of the impressions I got through this hearing was that the President was not well served in the implementation.

This committee looks at waste, fraud, and abuse, and we have been stymied by this Administration's stonewalling.

I am shocked that we would go to other sources to find out we have been lied to.

I would strongly suggest you go back, look at the record of previous hearings, and begin complying through the most expeditious means.

I am going to open up by telling you you know that your place in history as a body designer is secure.

We don't blame anybody for trying to get a loan. Programs are there; Congress votes on them.

The fact is that the entire Country is benefitting from this program.

This Administration has consistently, over a period of at least the years in which the Republicans have been a majority, decided that they will decide what we need and then not give us what we ask for.

Participating banks have increased their loans to small businesses by more than $280 million.

We wanted to incentivize banks to make loans to small businesses as across the Country in order to spur growth.
