Our so-called Commander in Chief is over in Europe where he criticized some of our closest allies as being delinquent. What is wrong with him? Hypocrisy is clearly not a constraint to behavior. TrumpCare, the Republican healthcare plan…

I regret that I was not present for votes on June 21, 2018, due to my son Joshua Jeffries' graduation. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``nay'' on rollcall No. 279, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 280, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 281, ``nay''…

I am feeling very discouraged by where this committee has taken us all day long.

We are the people for whom this government has been organized. It is of us, by us, and for us.

I want to understand why my colleagues here in this room, in this committee, in the Judiciary Committee, and even in Congress are silent as we become enemies to our friends and friends to dictators.

What are you guys complaining about? You know what happened. James Comey decided to play judge, jury, and executioner.

In my view that's not a question we should be asking, certainly from my standpoint.

I think we should have hearings about how the Trump administration is deporting their parents as those children remain wards of this country.

And Trump's former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, has pled guilty to lying to the FBI, correct?

For the last few hours we have sat in this hearing, and some of my colleagues, part of the Cover-Up Caucus, have attempted to peddle conspiracy theories that the investigation into the Trump campaign's potential criminality, where we were…

It's a phony, fraudulent, and fake argument. Stop peddling lies about a so-called Democratic witch hunt to the American people.

Now, Donald Trump, the Republican President, appointed Rod Rosenstein to that position of deputy AG, true?

Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort has been charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, correct?

There is not a scintilla of evidence that a witch hunt exists right now. In fact, if any, individual connected to the 2016 Presidential campaign was victimized by prosecutorial misconduct, her name was Hillary Clinton.

We live in a democracy, not an authoritarian state. Is that correct?

I thank the distinguished gentleman, the ranking member, Mr. Pallone, for yielding and for his leadership on this issue. I also want to thank Congressman Latta, as well as Chairman Greg Walden and my colleagues: Chris Collins, Trey Gowdy…

While Democrats continue to focus on better jobs, better wages, and a better future for hardworking Americans, Republican indifference to the chaos, crisis, and corruption in this town, for example, at the EPA, is at an all-time high. Why…

I thank Chairman Goodlatte as well as several distinguished members of the Judiciary Committee--in particular, Cedric Richmond and Karen Bass--for their leadership on this issue and, of course, my good friend Doug Collins for being a…

The American people face a clear choice about the way forward: the Republican raw deal or the Democratic better deal. House Republicans want to take away healthcare from more than 23 million Americans--raw deal; Democrats want to…

I thank my good friend, the distinguished ranking member, for yielding, for his leadership, and, of course, to the chairman of the committee and to so many other Members: Representative Issa, Representative Rooney, and Representative…

It is my honor to welcome our guest chaplain, Rabbi Shlomo Segal of Kehilat Moshe synagogue from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. Rabbi Segal and his wife, Adina, founded the synagogue 5 years ago, and they have since created a vibrant community…

It is my honor that, on Tuesday, May 1, the communities of south Brooklyn, on the corner of Brighton Beach and Coney Island Avenues, will be co-named for Valeriy ``Larry'' Savinkin, a dedicated and well-respected community leader, who…

In this country, our democratic republic, we have a brilliant system of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is a system that consists of two predominant parties with a contrast of ideas. And nowhere in this…

In addition to the fact that as Cedric Richmond pointed out, these type of programs save taxpayer dollars.

educational and vocational programs for Federal prisoners have shown to significantly reduce recidivism.
