Jim Jordan

It's roughly equivalent to half of all discretionary spending we did in 2017.

For the sake of argument, let's accept what the White House said.

But I want to try to get a handle on the overall picture here.

Maybe the best way to get the information is to pass Mr. Palmer's legislation.

We can't even get someone in the Federal Government to tell us what that total number...

This is from their budget. For 2017, the table shows that total offsetting collections and offsetting receipts from the public are estimated to be $534 billion.

Thank you to our witnesses. And, Mr. Kohn, I agree with you.

It sure looks to me like it is Secretary Clinton, as you said.

So one other thing that is important on that, if we could but that back up, one other thing that is important is the date.

I would say that is the understatement of the year.

A compromise or disruption of our election process is something that this Congress certainly should be looking into.

Free and fair elections are the linchpin of our society.

This is pure political maneuvering.

This Administration's Department of Justice is actually requiring New Orleans police officers to break the law in an effort to further their political agenda.

It is very frustrating for me. I have learned that--I will not accept it. This all has to change.

Our job is to oversee and make sure that government runs properly and according to law.

If I were audited and the IRS showed up at my doorstep and they said, 'Where is the information?' and I said, 'My server crashed, sorry,' I don't think the IRS would be as lenient with me as the government has been with the IRS in such a…

You should've been gone a long time ago, when this is the record: Losing emails, backup tapes destroyed, targeting still continues to this day, not Jim Jordan's words, not Freedom Caucus words, words from the Court of Appeals.

The IRS targeted people for exercising their most fundamental liberty, their right to speak against the policies of their government, and they got harassed for doing that.

This is what so many Americans are frustrated about, this double standard.

What a coincidence, Mr. Koskinen.

It is not the assumption. It was on those tapes, because it was from the critical time period when Ms. Lerner's hard drive had crashed.

Such conduct is an abuse of office that was condoned by the Administration and warrants stiff penalties.

It represents a direct attack on freedom of religion, it represents a direct attack on freedom of speech, and thus an attack on our Constitution and our democracy.

The Congress owes it to the American people and future generations and to our sworn oath to the Constitution to hold the perpetrators of this tyrannical abuse of power accountable.
