it worked for some time until recent years from the federal election commission has been almost as dysfunctional as congress. it was set up with three democrats and three republicans on the commission. as most of your viewers can understand nearly every decision that comes out is nearly a 3-3 stalemate. there was an article, i think it was in the new york times, when they celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creation of the federal election commission, they stalemated whether to serve bagels or donuts at the anniversary celebration. everyone knows the right answer was doughnuts. the concern is in the absence of having a referee to blow the whistle on candidates that cheat, you can see further erosion of public faith in the process. that is why i feel as strongly as i do about modernizing our campaign-finance rules. there are other systemic changes we need to look at. things like partisan gerrymandering and other systemic changes we are taking up on the select committee on the modernization of congress to make sure our political system is working for the people. greta: we have about five in his

require campaign, candidate and family members to immediately report to the fbi and the federal election commissionny offers of federal assist. it codifies into law what is already i think we agree a moral duty a patriotic duty, a matter of common sense. it is already illegal. to accept for and assist in the campaign. it's already illegal to solicit your assistance during a campaign. what this bill does, all it does is require campaigns and individuals to report such illegal foreign assistance directly to the fbi. yesterday robert mueller came before congress to answer questions about his sweeping investigation and 448 page report. that report documented compellingly and convincingly the most serious attack on our democracy by a foreign power in our history. it tells a story of 140 contacts between the trump campaign and russian agents it proves russian covert and overt efforts to influence the outcome of our election by helping one candidate and hurting another. and it shows powerfully the trump campaign's knowledge of that effort and willingness to accept that help. mueller testified yesterday "o

was in the new york times, when they celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creation of the election commission, they stalemated whether to serve bagels or doughnuts. the concern is in the absence of having a referee to blow the whistle on candidates that cheat, you can see further erosion of public faith in the process. that is why i feel as strongly as i do about modernizing campaign-finance. there are other changes we need to look at. >> 3-3. it was interesting. you are in this modernization committee. it is split equally between republicans and democrats. you have tried to show this bipartisan nature of the committee. is it going to lead it to be deadlocked and not productive? something you can do the rest of congress maybe bipartisann terms of collaboration? seef you are going to systematic change in the house, it needs to be bipartisan. i give credit to our rules committee chairman. established --as to the speaker. when this was established, with equal membership. six democrats and six republicans. tom graves is my vice chair. we are trying to do things a bit differently. pass,y recommend
