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.

Social services, natural resources, science, space, technology, and other programs, we are down to $0.14 of a dollar. This is a dollar that you paid, by the way. This is out of your taxes.

This phrase keeps coming up that no person is above the law. That is true. But, also, no person is denied protection under the law. Why would we wait 4 years? Why would this come up at this time that we have to check the former President…
