I don't need to tell you about the truly awful effort that is being conducted by the president himself and his allies like Sean Hannity and Janine Perrow to throw mud on the story to American institution, the FBI, all in the service of…

This deal is not a perfect deal. I don't know that there are perfect deals in this realm. But I do know that, for the next 7, 8, or 9 years, we are not going to have the worry that so many of us had before the Iran deal. Let's engage on…

WikiLeaks is in a non-U.S. organization that does not have the best interest of the United States in mind.

We started in a place where there was a blanket, unconditional denial of any contact with the Russians.

The best way for this investigation to go away, of course, is for people to be totally up front.

This is part of a much larger pattern that involves people like General Flynn and involves people like Donald Trump Jr., of people forgetting or simply lying about contacts with Russia.

Yes, this was the first time that at least on the House side, we got a first-person account of what occurred in Trump Tower when Don Jr. had that infamous meeting to try to get dirt on the Clinton administration.

When they are sort of speaking about any sort of contacts, it probably pays to be a good deal more careful than Jeff Sessions ever was on this stuff.

This guy has a long track record of working with pro-Russian entities and people in Ukraine.

Well, the main thing there is, is that there's new energy in the investigation, right?

I was one of the lonely opposition votes to the Mulvaney bill in the last Congress.

This is a common sense step that would provide veterans with additional resources to acquire new skills...

I appreciate the VA's attention to this issue and understand that they support the intent of the bill, but that they feel that the goals of the legislation have been met with the availability of a statement of benefits.

The statement of benefits does not solve this problem. Not all authorized Post-9/11 GI Bill beneficiaries have access to the statement of benefits on Vets.gov and the statement is not always accepted as proof of income.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And welcome, Chairman. It is great to see you again, and I assure you this committee is not usually this much fun.

I worry about the folks in rural America.

Your job, with all due respect, sir, and the job of the SEC, is to make sure that our small investors are able to care for themselves.

We have 40 million people in this country that live in rural America, 40 million.

Forty-one percent of our seniors in this country, Mr. Clayton, do not have broadband access.

To ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac revise their seller servicer guidelines to foster competition among credit score providers.

In the spirit of my friend from Michigan, I have a long list of interior decorating tips, too, but I am going to run those by my staff, or at least my wife, before I submit them to you.

I think a lot of the debate right now is on the Republican side of the aisle over big issues around revenue neutrality, around border adjustment tax, deductibility of interest.

I just hope--again, I think we all recognize that durability relies to some extent on bipartisan cooperation.
