Henry Waxman: “Determining something is a low priority, or not hazard, should be a very high bar.”

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

Mr. Chairman, too much dirty politics is waged with dark money, the secrecy is protected by no privilege, and a little sunlight would be very healthy for American democracy.

The House's need for all the facts surrounding suspected Presidential offences cannot of course be circumscribed by an executive determination of what is relevant.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
