I have eternal optimism, and I believe that we will find a resolution to getting it right.

I want a full report. I want a meeting, and I want you to hear the truth because your employees were atrocious, and I am saying it on the record.

Even with the evidence you did find, is it true, as you note on page 76 of Volume II, that the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President…

Actions by the President to end a criminal investigation into his own conduct to protect against personal embarrassment or legal liability would constitute a core example of corruptly motivated conduct.

The President's pattern of conduct as a whole sheds light on the nature of the President's acts and the inferences that can be drawn about his intent.

Your report also described at least 10 separate instances of possible obstruction of justice that were investigated by you and your team. Is that correct?

The Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort was passing sensitive voter information and poller data to a Russian operative.

Together with the evidence in Volume I, I cannot think of a more serious need to investigate.

It gives a fair shake to older neighborhoods, senior citizens----

The GI Bill Evaluation Act, which is really intended to give veterans some breathing room.

Thank you for including my bill also, and thank all of you for the service you do for our veterans.

You know, in this committee we talk a lot about student debt and certainly that is something that is weighing in this country with about $1.5 trillion in student debt having incredible consequences not only in terms of student's ability to…

It should be part of rehabilitation, strengthening those family bonds. It is what keeps them together.

It means everything if a mother could stay with her child. I don't know that to coming back to a nursery type situation without your child is going to do any good.

I have legislation moving through the Congress, unfortunately, it is stuck in the United States Senate--that deals with the birth of babies while incarcerated.

It is clear that as we look at this set of facts, emotion, passion, that there is much work to do to build on what we have done in this committee, prison reform first steps, sentencing reduction, much work to do as it relates to women.

So, you can expand your staffing levels if necessary?

So, you have the resources. Congress has given you the resources to hire as you need?

Employment authorization delays have been substantial. Delays in employment authorization have significant impact on many different stakeholders and can result in prolonged benching or even job loss.

USCIS has acknowledged that some policy changes have slowed processing and increased the overall case backlog.

And is that important, as far as you can relate, to have the opportunity to visit without notice as relates to oversight?

With that kind of crowded atmosphere, without making any judgments about those individuals, is that something that could possibly create a violent situation?

And it might likely be as important for Members of Congress on the Oversight Committees?
