Jason Chaffetz
The Public Record
So we are after the truth here most of the time, but I do want to highlight that aspect of this, that we have to be fairer in conducting oversight as well.
The congressional oversight and investigative work does not need to be an adversarial activity.
Why is it that Members of Congress with security clearances--I happen to sit on the Judiciary Committee, I am on the Crimes Subcommittee--why is it that I cannot actually see what you are sending out far and wide?
It has been a year. And we issued a subpoena. It is not like we are not serious about that.
You want funding from the American people, there is possible legislation, there are all sorts of things.
I think it is important that we get these documents, and I think the American people have a right to know is the Department of Justice violating the law when it comes to privacy.
