Mark Meadows actually said...

"It is those hardworking American taxpayers that really fund everything that we do."

"What we have seen over and over again is a lack of compliance, a lack of transparency."

"Transparency is the lifeblood of democracy, and if a government is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people, the American people need to know what our government is doing on their behalf..."

"I would like to say that, if you have policy recommendations, the ranking member and I were discussing we would love to hear it and we consider this a priority and we will take action on that."
