I just want to correct a couple of things that the majority leader said. You guys are the ones that let the FISA law lapse. There was a 75-day extension sent over here. You guys got the majority.

They spied on two American citizens associated with his campaign, and he has got no basis for the tweet he did yesterday? They used a dossier to go to the secret court to get a warrant to spy on one of those individuals; a dossier that they knew was false; a dossier they knew was paid for by the Clinton campaign; a dossier that Jim Comey said--not me--Jim Comey said was salacious and unverified; a dossier where the author had already told the Justice Department that he was desperate to stop Trump from getting elected, and they used it to go spy on the Trump campaign.
