raskin of maryland. mr. raskin: with your leadership, with the robust new majority in the house of representatives, it's a new day in washington. a great republican president, abraham lincoln, spoke of government of the people, by the people, for the people and that's always been the want liesing dream of america. it's our role as congress to guarantee that we are a government of the people, but today the executive branch is drowning in big money corruption, self-dealing and lawlessness. they said they were going to drain the swamp, mr. chairman. they moved into the swamp. they built a hotel on it and they started renting out rooms to foreign princes and kings and governments. it is our job to restore government by the people in america which is why i'm thrilled to introduce the executive branch comprehensive enforcement act with senator blumenthal on the senate side. it would give subpoena power to the office of government ethics. it will allow formal proceedings take place there. it makes clear it extends

raskin the experience during the twin peaks tunnel that was encouraging was the efficiency. we joked i'd be easy on you. i know you're new to the job and know with the system and the metro system in particular but this is a serious situation. it's not working well. and if our mission is to get people out of the cares and into the system, the system needs to work well and when it's not working well they ned to hear and understand why it's not working well. to me, the difference between having in central command give up control for 15 or 20 seconds to let thousands of people in the tunnel know what's going on, that's a no-brainer. let the customers know what's going on and if we need to staff that differently in add advance of the radio change, do that. i don't want to go through all the solutions, you know them better than i do, but i have to say this, it's got to get better and i'd like accountability and we need to start with communicating life -- live time in the tunnel hon -- on what's going on and what they can expect to do in an alternative situation. okay? >> yes. >> o

raskin from maryland, you're recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thanks for all of your great testimony. let me try out a theory on the witnesses here. i noticed that most of the cases have been brought first in the name of the constitution and then as a statutory matter which i think is the right way to do it. to me the whole current situation is solved by the steel case where president truman came to president asking for authorization to be able to seize the steel mills and congress said no. then the president went out and did it anyway and the supreme court ended up saying, no, it's a red light by congress, you can't run the red. that's exactly what's happened here. the president came to us asking for money for the border wall and we had a disagreement. we didn't give it to him. now he very clearly wants to go around the back of congress and say i'm going to go ahead and use this money anyway. so we say it violates our power of appropriation, the power of the purse and the steel seizure case is on point. no president has ever been

jane raskin, one of the attorneys in florida has been the lead person working on this. they have seen the president's side of this. they've seen the documents that he has handed over to mueller. they have worked with a lot of the witnesses, a lot of people in the white house who have gone and testified. so they think they have an idea of some of the things that will be in mueller's report so that's what they've been trying to counter. also their counter report would include their interpretation of the law. what is the president's constitutional authority to fire the fbi director, for example? so that's what could be in there, but that's really sort of one of the pieces of their response to all this. and that only is at the very end when and if mueller's report actually gets made public. i think tom laid this out very well, that under the special counsel regulation tz, this is supposed to be a confidential report given to the attorney general full stop, some people would interpret it. the attorney general does not have to turn this over and the only disclosure requiremen
