these are among the very toughest cases of all to prosecute.

I'm glad we added to the Adam Walsh Child Safety Act the requirement that if you're a sex offender and you're registered, you change States, you've got to register again or it's another Federal offense.

I thank Congressman Sensenbrenner for his introduction of the Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act, legislation that is necessary to maintain the good accomplished by this act and improve the system to be more efficient and more just.

When I hear the term 'children,' there is no children's court in South Carolina. There's a juvenile court, and it is for those under the age of 16.

It could be for two reasons. Number one, there is no evidence. Or secondarily, it could be a judicial matter.

I have never met President Trump nor have I had a conversation with him.

I think it is important that we do so.

Intent is awfully hard to prove.

Did the Bureau interview everyone who originated an email that ultimately went to Secretary Clinton that contained classified information?

The Justice Department assured us my clients did nothing wrong.

I have been underwhelmed by an agency that I once had tremendous respect for.

It does beg the question of why you are seeking or receiving immunity.

We are here today because the Department of Justice, the entity that is supposed to be the chief enforcer of the law, is aiding and abetting local governments in the failure to enforce the law.

Time and time and time again, our Nation has witnessed the tragic consequences of this Administration's failure to enforce immigration law.
