Blaine Luetkemeyer: “Six and a half months now she is past due at showing up at this Committee.”

As much as I hate that bill and hate that rule, my intention on that was to make sure we minimize the effect of this bill or this rule because it originally was a horrendous thing.

I hate this rule. I fought it from the very beginning and once it got implemented we were trying to figure out how to make it minimally impactful on our folks.

That is not a request by a letter. That is in the law that Congress passed. She is supposed to show up.

I am an interesting guy to have on the committee here this morning because I was a sponsor, the Republican sponsor, of the Corporate Transparency Act.
