And so, for me, it is just really a concern here that the DOJ look at it also from our perspective as well.

But we are sort of the buffer at this point to say, 'Hang on a second.'

And I think that has to be given some deference to these tech companies.

I want to thank our witnesses. For the last couple of years, pirate radio has been top of mind when it comes to me.

The challenge for us is to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.

We need this legislation in order end the reckless practice of avoiding compliance.

there seems to be a ceding of authority from DOJ.

civil asset forfeiture is something that actually that bridges both Republican and Democrat, this is a bipartisan, you know, very much of a concern.

the assumption is you are guilty, prove you are innocent.

I think one of the more telling points here--and I think it was a good point--is a concern here.

Because when I actually show evidences of basically the same thing, which you can take fact and correlate to law, this is why the Armed Forces right now have the new term called the Clinton defense. 'I didn't know. I didn't mean to.' It is…

Do you honestly believe that a lady, a woman of vast intelligence, who was the First Lady of the United States, who was a Senator who had access to classified information all of the Members here do, who was Secretary of State who had even…

I appreciate you being here. You are, I believe, forthright, much more so than, you said, in any other criminal case we have had.

How can you then explain to me this Marine's mistake in taking classified documents or mishandling them is more severe than the Secretary of State, who sent and received classified emails on a regular basis?

It didn't take nothing but a simple legal search to find a Marine that fall in it.

I do not think you need any more power because right now you are removing pharmacies that actually try to compete in their marketplace and serve on regular means.

You cannot tell me, and sit here and tell me that your groups, which you represent, many of which have testified before this Committee and been untruthful with this Committee can say----

There is much to be said about how we can work better together.

We don't like it. Republicans in power in Congress, the Democrats.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The optics of this are terrible and you today have made it worse.

I actually, and I say this with due respect, Attorney General, I miss Eric Holder, because at least when he came here he gave us answers.

I have found sometimes, basically, getting more fruitful answers from the wall than I did from him.

I think this has become the new discussion over the years... where are we at in 21st century privacy?

I think 300 Members also have a pretty good idea that something is not right too.
