Every day we are in session, we pass something that could be law restraining you in furtherance of your freedoms. It is a good thing when Members of Congress go home, as most of us do. It is tougher for those on the West Coast, but most of us go home each weekend during recesses or maybe a quick trip to speak here or there just outside of the district. But it is a good thing for Members of Congress to go home and to hear from people back home. That is good. Anyway, sometimes the rigors at home are even more than we face here. There are at least three things I want to address today. One of them is information that has come out. I was there for a number of the depositions that were taken behind closed doors of witnesses--formerly from the Justice Department, some still with the Justice Department--regarding what Gregg Jarrett called ``The Russia Hoax,'' and he documents why that sounds like an appropriate title. There is an article from FOX News about this by Gregg Re. This quoted Lisa Page. She was an interesting witness. It was interesting watching her testify.…”
