any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position should have known that an unclassified system was no place for these conversations.

They deleted all emails that they did not return to the State Department, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.

this will get out of control. And my dad used to tell my sisters and me that if we ever found ourself in a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging.

Government continues to grow at just phenomenal rates because we have not been able to do the very thing that we are sent here to do, which is to control our spending.

This is not true. The FBI found thousands of work-related emails that were not returned.

This defies logic and the law.

This is not true. The FBI found that some of these emails were marked 'classified.'

While Director Comey may have refused to criminally indict Hillary Clinton, his public pronouncement and subsequent congressional testimony is nonetheless a public indictment of her conduct and character.

This is not true. The FBI found 110 emails in 52 email chains containing classified information at the time they were sent or received.

The duplicity and inconsistency from Mr. Nadler is stunning.

The purpose of impeachment is not personal punishment.

Clearly, these effects can be brought about in a way not intended by the criminal law.

When you provide false testimony to Congress, is that or is that not a crime?

This is probably the one agency that the American people have to deal with more than any other.

They went after peoples' First Amendment, free speech, political speech.

They informed the White House, they informed the Department of Treasury, but they did not inform the Congress.

The underlying offense here was the most egregious thing you can do--going after peoples' political free speech rights.

That seems to be helping that individual who was in the system get to a better position in life, and just as importantly, help treat taxpayers with the respect they deserve so someone is not living off their tax dollars who is able-bodied.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for having this hearing and for our witnesses and the chairman for his work in this area, extensive work in this area.

I am asking you about Maine because Maine has done it. That is the one experiment we have that I think is working win-win-win.

But they did get a job so that is a good thing and they are no longer living off the taxpayer.

If a taxpayer destroyed documents subject to a summons by the IRS, the taxpayer would be in a world of hurt.

The American people had a right to get the facts regarding the IRS targeting, and the IRS had a duty to comply with the congressional investigation.
