Yeah. He's still the attorney general. The FBI works on more than just the 2016 investigation.

The ability of this community to function depends both on its credibility that its work that it's doing is in the national security interest of the United States, and also the importance of its independence--that it is not an extension of…

I understand fully the need of the President of the United States to be able to have conversations with members of the intelligence community that are protected, particularly in a classified setting.

The issue of oversight on both your independence and on your credibility falls on us.

Has anyone ever asked you now or in the past, this administration or any administration, to issue a statement that you knew to be false?

The ability of a child to learn is not simply based on the classroom experience.

If a child is living in a dangerous neighborhood in substandard housing in a broken home, this child is going to struggle to learn, unless there are things in place to assist them both inside and outside of school.

I will watch it on TV.

Nothing in this bill is designed to punish them, stigmatize them, or in any way hurt them.

Thank you very much for this, to the Ranking Member and to all the Members of the Committee.

Thank you, Madam Chair, for holding this important hearing.
