Political Quotes

On the recordApril 15, 2015
I agree with everything my colleagues have said. I think Americans need to look at what is going on in their House--America's House--today and to understand that we do understand the difference between right and wrong. We also understand that sometimes absolute power corrupts absolutely. We started years ago looking into this. We still don't have all the answers. I would just tell some of our fellow citizens that we are not done yet because we knew those things have happened. I think what the chairman has expressed and Mr. Roskam has expressed is the outrage we feel because it is not only our responsibility, it is our duty to protect every single one of America's citizens. To divulge the information that was divulged and to do it in such a way to use the law to break the law makes absolutely no sense to any of us. This isn't really about either side of the aisle. This is about all of us, together, doing what is right for the American people. This should reconfirm to the American people that we are here acting in their best interest and defending them every single day that we sit in session and that we sit in office.
