Chris Van Hollen: “We must bring about its downfall.”

Last night’s ruling from a federal judge made plain: the Administration’s efforts are in clear violation of Congressional intent.

We must hold them to this standard and hold a hearing to determine what the Department knows, as well as request the original report written by embassy staff on the status about these killings.

This should chill every American to the bone. When the rights of one are threatened, the rights of all are at risk.

The job of a U.S. ambassador, and their staff, whether a political or civilian employee, is to defend and protect U.S. interests.
