So, you know, we have a duty on behalf of the American people to exercise oversight over the executive branch.

I don't think that the American people are satisfied with this.

Well, this is one of the--so he writes a letter. Lois Lerner's hard drive crashes 10 days later.

I think that you have a duty of candor to Congress and the American people.

You never mentioned, you never disclosed that there were real problems about whether you were, in fact, going to be able to turn over those emails, correct?

We do not have mutual interests with Iran. They are diametrically opposed, and they are a mortal enemy of the United States.

My personal feeling is if they will let the military do it and leave the politics out of it, I think they will do it.

It was an attempt at a deception of the public.

I appreciate the witnesses, and I yield back.

It seems to me that, you know, the President politicized this when he had a White House Rose Garden ceremony for Mr. Bergdahl's parents.

a lot of my constituents look at that and they lose confidence in that official's ability to conduct their duties.

I ask that you support the E-2D program as well as and additional fifth E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft.

if you have somebody that high-ranking that comes and they are being asked questions about their official conduct in office, what do you do if somebody invokes the Fifth Amendment?

So, commissioner, if you, right now, had a stack on the table there of every email to, from or that copied Lois Lerner and all the 6103 information was redacted, would you have any problem just delivering all those emails to us immediately?
