Elijah Cummings actually said...

"I understand that many of the documents have gotten stuck in an interagency group that has not decided to produce the documents to us yet."

"It takes away our power, clear and simple."

"It is our job to ensure that these decisions are being made in the most cost-effective and efficient fashion without favoritism or abuse."

"It really works against us, it works against us when we get documents after the interview."
