the church committee is now a synonym for a truth and reconciliation committee. every time there is and a big scandal or a call for investigations, everyone in washington now says we need a new church committee. and so i thought we needed a new history of what really happened with the church committee. >> that's awesome. did you find any surprises when you were digging into this? >> oh, yeah, lots of surprises. i mean, it, it was the thing that amazed me the most is how much these guys investigated in a one year, a span of just one year. you gotta remember going back into that time period and it's, it's hard to, what was so fascinating to me was getting back into the mindset of the 19 seventies to realize there had never been any congressional oversight of the intelligence community prior to the church committee, the cia had gone for 30 years with no supervision whatsoever and there were no rules in place, no laws, no rules that really governed the cia or the fbi for that matter, or the nsa. there was no public debate or public discussion of what the intelligence

we were ad hoc were select committee not a permanent committee.and i don't think that the word subpoena was used in the whole 15 months. we were relying on people to cooperate. and i'm being by people leaders of the intelligence community and bill colby had already testified pretty to us about what he knew and some pretty deep secrets. so chairman church called a meeting of just the committee members. it was correct me if there was anyone else the room. i don't think so. this was in the first 30 days of our and the question on the table was what if the agencies refuse to deal with this? what if we asked for documents and they just don't give them? what if we ask them to come testify and? they don't come. what do we do? so we would run the. and it was kind of confusion and no quite knew how to crack this walnut and get started so i would being jurist in the committee it was the last so i said mr. chairman i have idea why don't each of us. ask the cia and the fbi for own personal files. room got deathly silent. so you had 1110 others thinking it was

santos also reported fictitious loans to his political committees to induce donors and party committees to contribute more to his campaign, keeping the elaborate scheme moving forward. george santos is a liar. in fact, he's admitted to many of them. who has used his position of public trust to personally benefit himself from day one. santos now faces 23, 23 criminal charges in connection with his long list of misdeeds. we have already seen two former santos staffers, including his former treasurer, plead guilty to federal charges in connection with santos' corrupt campaign. despite blaming others, including his former treasurer, for the numerous campaign violations, all signs point towards mr. santos that he knowingly and actively participated in a widespread misconduct of his campaign. in fact, the ethics committee report records demonstrate this to a t. george santos has continuously said that he has not received his due process. i ask my colleagues if we do not take the ethics committee and their results seriously, then why even have the committee in the fir pla? through the i.s.c. i

was the gentleman on the oversight committee or the insight committee at the time? >> no, i was on judiciary. i understand the argument you are making. the resolution. you used it is essentially different provisions and modify them and so forth. the inquiry resolution was following those interviews as i can best recollect from back in october and september. the inquiry resolution you used as a template was after that and essentially what the resolution compelled for example them to do was to hold, shall hold public hearings and shall issue a report on its findings. the resolution, that's why that line which was included. this resolution does the opposite. that's all i'm trying to figure out is why not say the oversight committee is going to have open and transparent proceedings. we will require them told a public hearing and require them to issue a report. why is the language permissive and why has that been deleted? this isn't a political argument, it is a good-faith question. >> which i answered with a question why were we in a skiff for weeks. >> what i'm saying

this committee and i can't take a lot of credit for this, but members of this committee worked months and months to come up with reforms that are absolutely needed and for the public listening, those reforms would have prevented the abuses of crossfire that happened against president trump. if this is passed, those abuses wouldn't have happened. i tell you what, i don't think the f.b.i. likes these reforms and there is disagreement here on whether or not we should pass it. there are members of both parties that want additional reforms. and i can't tell you how concerned i am of those proposals. when we disagree up here there are a lot of disagreements and those disagreements. this one really concerns me. i come from a national security background. i have actively tracked bad guys and actively tracked terrorists and i know what it takes to investigate and all of the different threads that you have pull to conduct that investigation and eventually find the guy who wants to harm or kill or spy on americans. it takes a lot of work and flexibility. now, that flexibility can't be endless an

the judiciary committee. if you really cared about this, we would be on the floor a long time ago debating fixing this problem. you know you are not going to get 60 votes for these subpoenas. i don't know who you are trying to please. i don't know what group is going to feel better because we are doing this on your side. but you are pleasing none of us. this committee has functioned fairly well given what is going on in america today, so, no, i don't buy one bit this is about fixing the problem. this is about an ongoing effort to destroy this court. to destroy clarence thomas's reputation. to pat the court, to get your way, to make sure the supreme court exists today can't function. the democrats need to destroy clarence thomas's reputation. nutter reader of the new republic but i think a lot of people on your side probably do. and this is what you are trying to do and you are going to meet a real brick wall over here and this is going to fundamentally change the way the committee operates and it's a choice y

first, he charges the committee on oversight and reform, the committee on ways and means, and the committeethe judiciary with extending the existing inquiry. it provides procedures for conducting hearings and calling and questioning witnesses. it grants the minority equal time to question and request witnesses. it ensures investigating committees can prepare and transmit reports and documents to the committee on the judiciary, which traditionally considers impeachment. it gives the president and his counsel opportunities to participate in proceedings before the committee on the judiciary. it authorizes the committee on the judiciary to report to the house of representatives resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other recommendations. if these procedures sound familiar, they should. in preparing this rap resolution, we have followed the blueprint house democrats followed in 2019 and have adapted this resolution to closely follow house resolution 660 from the 1/16 congress. i know my friends in the minority will point out the obvious. house republicans expressed concerns with his approach

prior to the church committee. the cia had gone for 30 years with no supervision whatsoever and there were no rules in place no rules that govern the cia or the fbi. there was no public debate or discussion of what the intelligence community should do. everything that the church committee did was brand-new. if you step back you create a committee and you tell them you have to investigate 30 years it is pretty awesome. it is amazing what they did one year. >> i agree. >> in your book, as you mentioned this was around three decades old when the committee was formed how do you think it was able to amass so much power and operate without oversight for so long? >> that's a great question. it is something that maybe senator hart can talk about, but there was a sense in the post war era that americans did not want to ask too many questions. especially after world war ii and the mccarthy era hits in the early 50s and there was a witch hunt for communist and anyone who was a dissident. i think in the 50s there was a sense t

our opinion is that in the disciplinary committee, in the disciplinary committee's vote, at the end, if you gentlemen can consider the writing, amend the writing. donin , the tax has been paid, yes, gebel siyani, the problem of the police press club has been paid, the payment of the tax is not with us , it should be done with my taxpayer, who is the taxpayer, what was done in the disciplinary committee. it was written, we also confirmed it, but nowhere in the law is this mr. hajawi, a legal scholar, whoever he is, tell me, where in this law can you find a place, just one question, the answer is yes or no, you, mr. salehi , this is your ruling, or you can protest. yes, they can object to the acquisition. if it is resisted, thank you very much. we will continue to mr. haqvardi now. mr. hajaruri should be behind the line for the conclusion. thank you very much, dear mr. salehi. i would like to say hello, good service to you, a media believer, mr. haj mahdibari, who has been serving sports for 3 years, and until now, i am a supporter of i don't see them, i want to say this first, because

up next we will show you a portion of the rules committee meeting. >> the committee will reconvene. >> i have an amendment at the desk. amendment number six to house resolution 918 offered by ms. scanlon. at the end of the resolution, section 7, limitation on subpoena authority. notwithstanding of rule 11, a cherub ranking minority member of a committee or select committee of the house of representatives as such chair or ranking minority member did not comply with a subpoena, a committee of the house of representatives for a select committee is not authorized to issue a subpoena pursuant to this resolution or in furtherance of the impeachment inquiry described in the first section. >> the gentlelady is recognized. >>+ my amendment + would make members of this body who have defied a congressional subpoena are not entitled to enforce it for purpose of this inquiry. this should be common sense. troubling, republican members of his body have turned their noses at congressional subpoenas. the chairman of the judiciary committee, one of three committees to carry out this investigation, was

the judiciary committee.f you really cared about this wheat would be on the floor a long time ago debating fixing this problem. you know you are not going to get 60 votes for the subpoena. i do not know who you are trying to please. i do not know what group is going to feel better because we are doing this on your side. but you are pleasing like none of us. and this committee has functioned fairly well given what is going on in america today. i did not buy one bit this is about fixing a problem this is an ongoing effort to destroy the corporate to destroy claire's thomases reputation. two pack of the court. to get your way. to make sure the supreme court exist today it cannot function. the democrat needs to destroy clarence thomases reputation not a new reader of the public many people ons your side probably o and this is what you are trying to do. you are going to meet a brick wall over here that's going to fundamentally change the way the committee operates. and it is a choice you made, live with your choic

this will be my second process as a member of the intelligence committee. i want to thank chairman turner and my colleagues on the committee, and all of the staff, both republican and democrat, for their efforts over the past year of identifying the uses and abuses of the authority. the process chairman turner and himes has set up has been one. we are using tools authorized by law and through that process, the bipartisan working group, i have come to appreciate the immense value of the fisa 702 authority and protecting our americans and protecting our adversaries. it has saved american lives. it has informed our diplomats as they negotiate with our adversaries. everything i've seen during my time in this committee has led me to believe fisa 702 should be reauthorized , but as they say, the bill has details. just as i have come to appreciate the importance of fisa 702, i have come to understand the risk of abuse of such authority can and has led to in our country. intelligence agencies and the fbi are able to search the fisa 702 database for communications b

[inaudible conversations] the committee will come to order. there are thousands of federal buildings across the country that not only serve as workplaces for federal employees, but also host daily visitors who come to access important federal services and help keep our government functioning efficiently. these facilities face a range of security threats that put both people and property at risk. and of those threats are only continuing to grow. threats related to domestic and international terrorism and even disinformation are rising and according to the department of homeland security, can endanger our federal personnel and critical infrastructure. today's hearing will focus on what actions are needed to secure the 9,000 federal facilities overseen by dhs federal protective services. the facilities host the mold of bold ofthe civilian and federal employees and are visited by 1.4 million americans each and every day. currently the federal facilities are secured through a two-step process. first, the interagency security committee led by the cy

the three committees are nearing the end of their investigations. and the white house has chosen this moment to stone wall and resist legitimate investigating powers of the house. mr. speaker, while i do not believe the house must hold a vote on the floor to initiate an impeachment inquiry, doing so may be said to be best practice. so we are taking up today's resolution which will formalize all impeachment inquiry that has already begun. this will ensure not only that the inquiry has the full authority of the house, but also that the house can enforce its subpoenas and ensure that the biden administration can no longer refuse to cooperate with the investigation. i'll briefly describe the procedures for this inquiry. the resolution tasks three commits committees, oversight and accountability, ways and means, and the judiciary, with continuing their current inquiries. it establishes procedures for conducting hearings and calling and questioning witnesses. it grants the minority equal time to question witnesses and the right to request their own witnes
