The Public Record
Jim Himes is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Connecticut's 4th congressional district since 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, he has focused on issues such as economic growth, healthcare, and national security during his tenure in Congress. Himes has been an advocate for democratic norms and transparency in government, often emphasizing the importance of the intelligence community in national discussions.
This is all a campaign to make sure that if and when that information emerges, that the institutions that would out that information, the FBI and the DOJ, have been sufficiently slandered, sufficiently called into question that Americans…
Shame on Sean Hannity, shame on my colleagues who are implying that Andrew McCabe is not exactly what he is, which is a terrific public servant who has risked his life over a long period of time.
I think it's a really important question, Wolf, because I mean, I can't disagree more with what Jason Miller said a little while ago on the program, what we're hearing too much, which is that FBI and law enforcement and DOJ were made…
The president criticizing the FBI is throwing mud on a storied institution.
The president of the United States has slandered this individual and I say this again probably with more knowledge than most Americans, with absolutely zero evidence.
What is happening today, is happening on Fox News, or Sean Hannity, with Jeanine Pirro, with all sorts of people, they are deliberately trying to do what they did to the media, generally, which is to say, you can't trust anybody.
It looks like Michael Flynn is cooperating with Robert Mueller. And the president just injected sort of a get out -- a potential, I should say, a potential 'get out of jail' free card to Michael Flynn.
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…
I think it's fair to say the indictments he secured, the guilty pleas he secured in the last week or so, I should say month, were surprises to most of us.
Yes, I really do, Anderson. Look, we have at least a two-track effort to make these investigations go away, to make them irrelevant, to make them marginal.
It is a profoundly damaging thing, not just today, but to the confidence that Americans should have in their presidency and in their government.
The American people need to be prepared to respond to the firing of Mueller or to further attacks on the DOJ and the FBI.
You know what, FBI agents having political opinions is not politicizing the FBI.
If Mueller comes out with new indictments, with new information, and the House is clueless on that stuff, how is that going to look?
You don't have a democracy unless you have an impartial, de-politicized Department of Justice and FBI.
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…
I thank the ranking member for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree with the chairman of the Financial Services Committee. This is not simply the gathering of information. This is not simply oversight. Under H.R. 4324, a…
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.
WikiLeaks is in a non-U.S. organization that does not have the best interest of the United States in mind.
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.
I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Securing Electronic Records for Veterans' Ease Act, the SERVE Act, because we all know and feel that veterans and their families face very real…
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.
Politicians like Jim Himes
