I understand what the gentlewoman is talking about and wants to do here. The concern here is this amendment establishes an entirely new grant program with a national resource center. It is unclear how it would be necessary, but it is also…

I appreciate the gentleman. I have no problem. As far as any violence against anyone, no matter what the cause is, is wrong. And no one should be treated differently because of choices and other things in their life, whether it be just the…

I claim the time in opposition, although at this point I am not necessarily opposed. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Again, I do not necessarily oppose the amendment. I think the underlying actual law addresses what you are after here, so, in my mind, it is duplicative and can serve to muddy up, really, some existing law that is already here. So that…

I understand the gentlewoman's concern here, and I appreciate that concern. A bigger concern I have here is concerning the trend of handling responsibilities on campus and giving those--in a criminal matter and putting them into campus…

I appreciate the gentlewoman's concern; but, also, I do understand this issue, as someone who has been in the legal community, been a counselor, also a chaplain in the Air Force who has had to deal with sexual assault issues, and also…

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

This one is one that, from many perspectives--and we talked about this a little bit earlier in this debate. Especially when it comes to the alternative justice issue here, we understand the concerns for the victims and need to be a part of…

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed to it. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Again, I appreciate the gentleman's concern. My concern is that the underlying bill already addresses this with sufficient funding. This amendment or anything like it was not offered in committee and not brought up in the discussions of…

I have no other speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Chairman, really, in closing, I would just reiterate the points that I have made. We are looking forward to a bipartisan, bicameral bill that we do believe will come…

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I do claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

I do think it is interesting, for a sovereign government, the expansion should come out of the funds here is the only concern I would have on this, but other than that, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is…

Again, I have been on this side, and I would love to see more cooperation, especially since this is one of the areas I do believe, Mr. Chair, we can actually have agreement on. The chairman and I have talked about this a great deal, and…

I claim the time in opposition, but I am not necessarily opposed. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Again, that is fine. I think the National District Attorneys Association also would agree that this is something that should be studied, but not mandated. And I think the amendment here goes farther than most of us are feeling comfortable…

Thus far, I have released five transcripts from the Committee on the Judiciary's investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and the Justice Department. Today, I am releasing the sixth. The American people deserve transparency. They…

Thus far, I have released four transcripts of interviews from the Judiciary Committee into the apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and the Justice Department. Today, I release the fifth. The American people deserve transparency, they deserve to…

Over the past few weeks, I have released the transcripts of the interviews from Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, and Lisa Page from the Judiciary Committee's investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and DOJ. I have said I would make…

How about engaging in personalities against the sitting Attorney General? You are saying that he was appointed for a reason. Parliamentary Inquiry

I just want to say thank you to the chairman. I appreciate it. Mr. Hurd was on his way over here. I did my best song and dance. It didn't last long enough. I am from the South. I am bad because I can't dance that well. So I appreciate the…

Wow. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for enlightening us on that. It is okay, basically, if you impugn the integrity of a sitting member of the Cabinet. I guess we just learned something new today. That is encouraging. As far as Members of the…

Wow. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Those are the rules of the House. The gentleman is advised.

I made a parliamentary inquiry concerning a Cabinet member, not the President. I understand your advisory opinion against the President. I fully agree with it. I am asking about a member of the Cabinet. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair…
