I thank the gentleman for yielding and deeply appreciate the gentleman from New York's leadership as the senior Jewish Member of the entire House of Representatives and his decades of support and leadership on issues important to the…

This isn't a two-tiered system of justice. These are just two men who acted very differently, one compliant, one criminally obstructive.

I think it is important to point out that the most clear evidence of why we are here on a Wednesday... is to witness tamper.

One is an upstanding American civil servant who fully cooperated with an investigation, and the other is a man who took multiple criminal actions to cover up his intentional theft of sensitive public and national security documents.

Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden didn't prevent anyone from going through any boxes or materials to search for classified documents, correct?

My Republican colleagues claimed a two-tiered system of justice exists because Trump was indicted for his handling of classified documents and exposing our Nation's most guarded secrets, while Republican Special Counsel Robert Hur found…

Does this sound like someone who follows and respects the law? I certainly don't think so.

What we're trying to do is introduce into the record the email that ensures that we have an opportunity to--

I think it's a shame that this has happened, and I hope we criminalize it because you should not be able to violate the First Amendment rights of American citizens and not have consequences for it.

The irony of not allowing introduction of information into the record which is a typical action for--

He's covering it up which has been repeatedly obvious during this hearing because for the first time in my 20-year career in Congress, I have never seen the majority not allow introduction by unanimous consent of information into the…

Those are connected. Those two things are important information to highlight--

Twenty years of Committee hearings in Congress I have never seen a denial of being allowed to insert information into the record, ever. Mr. Chair, you have to fix this. This cannot be how we proceed going forward, and I vote no.

Their objection to information being squelched is not lost one me, and I vote no.

So, in the future if we can ensure that when Members yield that they remain in the room. That would be helpful.

In Florida, voter suppression is a real concern.

It's breathtaking that now we're suggesting that we arrest people who are trying to make sure that they can save lives and prevent them from dying of a novel virus that killed millions of people.

The bottom line here is this is a Hail Mary of a hearing designed to improperly influence the Supreme Court.

To wage an inappropriate court influence scheme under the cover of oversight and impugn men who did their job and did it well is not just improper, it's actual weaponization of the Federal Government.

Mr. Chair, I ask for a recorded vote.

This is outrageous. We are not able to answer--put anything into the record now? Are you kidding me?

We are attacking civil servants who work to keep America safe.

It is incomprehensible that the Israeli hostages captured on Simchat Torah are still in Hamas' captivity as we approach Passover. I rise to finally provide long overdue aid to our ally Israel as she fights to defend herself against threats…

Last night the Sunshine State lost a brilliant statesman who loved Florida and all of her people. With the sad passing of our beloved Bob Graham, our entire Nation lost a proud world citizen, a dedicated American patriot, and a devout…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership in calling all of us together in support of bringing all of our hostages home. I am reminding the world that Hamas still has American hostages in its grip. We are joined tonight in…
