Gun battles between rival criminal organizations or with Mexican authorities have occurred in broad daylight on streets.

Mexico is also a dangerous place. I would argue it's one of the most dangerous places on the planet.

The United States is Mexico's largest trading partner and largest foreign investor.

We want to work with the unions, with the employees, with the administration, with the Congress.

If you have knowledge of criminal activity, do you believe you have an obligation to report that to law enforcement?

Do you believe you have an obligation under the law if you know of sexual harassment to report that to the legal authorities?

The passion that he puts into this and the caring that he has we all appreciate.

We are going to go through each and every personnel file, and anybody who has sexual harassment, we are going to go back and evaluate that.

You should do a criminal referral.

As we wrap up, to the good men and women who work at the EPA...God bless you.

I hope that the hearings inspire strong action. My Republican colleagues and I disagree about many things, but on this issue, on this issue, we have an opportunity to reach not only common ground, but higher ground.

I would note to the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Connolly, that please have a look at the--Cedric Richmond has a piece of legislation that I cosponsored, we introduced it, that deals with solitary confinement requires a study in reporting…

Is it safe? No, it is not safe there.

We have a duty and an obligation to make sure that they are well housed, that they are safe, that they are secure, that they are able to do their jobs and their duty.

I find it inconceivable that they would be unaware of the investigation and of the need to turn over every document that might have some relevance to this.

When you lie to Congress, you mislead us, we are going to hold you accountable.

I don't think you can have an IRS Commissioner come in front of the Congress, testify under oath that he has confirmed that all the backup tapes have been destroyed.

This is just simply unacceptable. And I think that there needs to be accountability for it.

I think we've seen this with Commissioner Koskinen's attitude that he really has had a contempt for this entire investigation.

I think you are part of the problem. I think if we want different results, we are going to have to have different people.

I think the seriousness of this requires new leadership and a new fresh set of eyes to do that.

The shift in blame is just inexcusable.
