The letter from the American Association from Justice states: ``This misguided bill would jeopardize crucial public protections by blocking regulations based on timing alone. It presumes the regulations which are proposed or finalized…

In their eyes you had one job and one job only, to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

I am all for, I've supported police, I am a lawyer, and I know how important police are, and I know there's so many great folks.

Sitting here today, do you stand by the FBI's recommendation to prosecute General Petraeus?

When they hear a political siren, they rush toward it over and over again, even if the evidence is not there.

If she isn't indicted, the only reason is because the Democrats are protecting her. She is being protected 100 percent, because you look at David--General Petraeus, you look at all the other people that did a fraction of what she did, but…

I support the President's efforts to explore gun safety technology or smart guns that would require fingerprint verification.

Well, we are going to follow up on this.

The bottom line is that we do not want any suspected terrorists to get a gun, we do not want any felon to get a gun, and we do not want any trafficking organization to get guns.

We can--yes, we can and we must make commonsense improvements on a bipartisan basis, and it is our solemn duty to act now to prevent the further loss of life of our own citizens.

Our bill, like so many other commonsense proposals, has been gathering dust because Republican leaders refuse to allow a vote.

If we ban a suspected terrorist from boarding a plane, why in the world would we let him walk across the street into a gun store and stock up on military-style assault weapons within 72 hours?

I strongly support the Inspector General Empowerment Act. Inspectors General play a crucial role in making the federal government more effective and efficient. The bill we are considering today will help the IGs do their jobs even better…

I am proud to be a cosponsor of this legislation to reauthorize the Office of Special Counsel. I thank Representatives Blum, Connolly, and Meadows, as well as Chairman Chaffetz, for working with me in such a bipartisan way on this…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I want to thank Mr. Meadows and Mr. Chaffetz and, certainly, Speaker Ryan for getting this bill to the floor. I associate myself completely with the words of the former chairman of our Oversight and…

In fiscal year 2017, it will ensure that more than 50 million seniors and their dependents receive the benefits earned through their lifetime of work.
