On the recordFebruary 15, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on an issue that is of critical importance to every person in this room, every father, mother, every family in our Nation. That issue is our national security. While the resignation of General Flynn was appropriate, it has led to more questions than answers. One of the most important, who directed General Flynn to do what he did? In my 27 years as a law enforcement officer, I have conducted both internal and criminal investigations at the highest level of law enforcement. I understand the importance of seeking the truth through such investigations. In a time of confusion and uncertainty, the American people deserve answers and transparency. That can only come through a thorough, bipartisan, independent investigation. Mr. Speaker, I urge my Republican colleagues to join me in calling for a thorough investigation. I know they understand the gravity of this issue and believe it is our duty to work together to keep our Nation safe. ____________________
