The overwhelming majority of people at the EPA, the overwhelming majority of people that work in our Federal Government, they are good, honest, decent people. They do not do this.
But when you have somebody who repeats this behavior that is absolutely and totally unacceptable and does so time and time again, there needs to be consequences, not promotions.
It would have been nice if you'd have also told the Congress and the American people: Oh, by the way, we misrepresented the facts to the court dealing with this issue.
It was not the fault of ICE, or it was not a breakdown in Federal immigration enforcement that resulted--that resulted in Kathryn Steinle's murder allegedly by Mr. Lopez Sanchez.
You had an agency with the power of the Internal Revenue Service systemically and for a sustained period of time target groups for exercising their most fundamental right under the First Amendment.

In fact, in my view and the view of many economists, quite the opposite will happen.
The problems at the Bank are so awful that they should be a wake-up call not just about Ex-Im but about the problems with corporate welfare across the Federal Government.
Many people forgot--excuse me--forget that the $90,000 in cash found in former Representative William Jefferson's freezer related directly to a bribe taken to help a company secure financing from the Export-Import Bank.
These kinds of revelations have become all too common at the Export-Import Bank, and it is another reason that I am glad it appears my colleagues will finally let the Bank expire.
