mr. desantis of florida. section 401 of the comprehensive iran sanctions accountability and divestment act of 2010 rirps the secretary of the treasury to prescribe regulations to prohibit or impose strict conditions on the opening or maintaining in the united states of a correspondent account or payable-through account by a foreign financial institution, that the secretary finds knowingly engages in iran's illicit activities. under section 401-f, the secretary of the treasury may waive these prohibitions or conditions if the secretary determines that such a waiver is necessary to the national interest of the united states. and submits to the appropriate congressional committees a report describing the reasons for the determination. . as noted in a recent congressional service report, section 401 was not waived to implement the joint comprehensive plan of action while many actions -- entities with which transactions would have triggered sanctions were delisted in accordance with the deal this delisting is unac

mr. desantis: well, i thank you, mr. speaker. i really appreciate chairman royce offering this legislation, mike pompeo for all his hard work. here's the deal. we were told by people like ben rhodes that the iran agreement was going to capitalize on winds of change inside iran, that this could be a way for iran to cease its fending conduct and become part of the community of nations and yet here we are a year out, over a year out from this iran deal and iran is increasing its illegal proliferation procurement activities. they're increasing missile procurement activities, and this is not the action of a country that is looking to make nice with the rest of the world. they are taking the concessions that were granted to them in this iran deal, and they are taking advantage of them and they are expanding their influence throughout the middle east. and it's curious because the deal itself, i think, clearly looking back on it has been a failure, but what the administration is doing is they're doubling down on that and they're going ev

mr. desantis represents volusia county, we try to get cut in brevard county and we were denied that. so my point here is somehow a threat assessment isn't dealing with the reality of what they are doing. .. >> this is when you gave us okay, so don't say that i'm incorrect. that's what you gave me, now, sheriff demings, he summed a lot of this up for only as good as the information that we have in intelligence. we have got to go back to getting better intelligence, connecting the dots. getting that information, obviously, they missed the mark had. we're only talking had been this program. but they missed the mark with our particular that was identified multiple times, put on a list. taken off a watch list. sheriff demings you have to have that information right to know who poses a risk either coming into or in our community. is that correct? >> congressman, mica you are correct, i have to say that we have a wonderful collaborative effort between our federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities in orlando as i indicated. there is classified unclassified information that is res

mr. desantis referred to, one is sensitive compartmented nondisclosure agreement and the other noncliche re both signed by hillary clinton. >> thank you mr. comey for being here today and for the professionals whom you lead at the fbi. two years ago after my urgent request to then former attorney general eric holder for an expedited justice department investigation into the tragic death of michael brown in ferguson, missouri, i witnessed firsthand the diligence, professionalism and absolute integrity of your investigators and i have no doubt that was the case in this matter as well. i did not think it was possible for the majority to exceed their unprecedented arrogant abuse of official channels and federal funds that we have witnessed over the past two years as they have engaged in a partisan, political witch hunt at taxpayer expense against secretary clinton, but i was wrong. this proceeding is just a sequel to that very bad act and the taxpayers who gets the bill. it's a new low and it violates both house rules and the rules of this committee. so, with apologies to you and the fbi for
