The camera of history is rolling. We do not live in a time where Congress can just sit back.

I thank my good friend from Massachusetts for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I just say to my friend from Alabama, he wraps himself in the uniform of our brave men and women who serve this country overseas and here at home as if there is a…

I think all of us know the stories of sort of the unwitting compliance--unwitting in that people are sometimes too trusting or don't have their guards up.

I think fraud would be far, far worse if we didn't have the FTC and other law enforcement agencies, you know, looking at this fraud and finding everybody who is culpable.

When we look at, sort of, financial predation, it covers all kinds of classes of people--seniors, ordinary consumers, and even our Active Duty military families who can be taken advantage of in times of need.

I made a motion for the Oversight and Government Reform Committee to subpoena the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to inform the committee and the public about the extent of the Russian threat to our country.

I was really particularly bothered by this because we actually had a good meeting at the White House.

the Trump Administration seems to be going in exactly the wrong direction with respect to telework.

this is a massive human rights crisis and we want to see democracy flourish but we also want to see individual human rights and collective human rights of a minority group protected.

It's time to decide what you stand for. Do you stand for democracy, or are you stand with that gangster in Moscow?

I'm convinced Russia attempted to undermine the fundamentals of our democracy, impugn the reliability of the 2016 election, and sow the seeds of discord among Americans.

Your department was kept out of the loop by the Department of Justice.

I am sure my colleagues were struck, as I was last week again and am struck every time I have access to relevant information, by the reality that all of us are actually victims.

In July of 2016, a Russian intelligence officer, and his co-conspirators, hacked the website of a State board of elections.

President Trump capitulated to Mr. Putin on nearly every point of contention in the bilateral relationship with Russia.

So much of Congress is always focused at the statewide level.

We should have the intelligence community here as well.

What better way to undermine confidence in every derivative function of government than to cast doubt on the election results as a whole?

He publicly cast doubt on Russian interference in our election.

Because we're probably going to want to know more about the Illinois case and whether there were other States like that.
