Under this administration, we're witnessing simply a stunning lack of cooperation that is hampering multiple congressional investigations, and appears to be a part of a large scale coordinated pattern of obstruction.

The committee is specifically requesting your decisionmaking materials in draft and final.

Come on now. This is the United States of America. Fighting all subpoenas? Congress has a constitutional duty.

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.

Can you commit today to provide the committee with these documents?

So if true, I find it highly troubling that a decision, you know, relocating thousands of FBI staff and costing billions of taxpayer dollars would be made without significant paperwork explaining that decision.

This is an effort to enforce Federal law, which, very clearly, there is no ambiguity here, which very clearly prohibits employees from engaging in political activities on Federal property or while using their official position.

we all must be held accountable to the same extent by the rule of law.

How do we get back to truth. How do we get back to the rule of law.

the road that you are on will lead us to where we need to be to that more perfect union.

They try as they might to obey the law. That's what they do.

Persistent, notorious, and deliberate Hatch Act violations.

What message does the President's refusal to fire Ms. Conway send to the over 2 million people in our Federal work force?

I spend every waking hour trying to figure out how do we get back to normal. How do we get back to truth.

This report explains how Ms. Conway violated the law dozens of times by using her official position to criticize Democratic candidates and support Republican candidates.

I think it does erode our democracy. I think it does take away from it.

it would be malpractice if we didn't do it.

We do not teach our children to lie. We do not teach them to disobey--we do not teach them to disobey the law.

I should not have to say this, but obviously that is against the law. It is against Federal law.
