. >> recognize the gentleman from texas, mr. gomer for five minutes. >> thank you. we appreciate you being here. we appreciate your candor and efforts in trying to get records. we had the attorney general testify earlier in here as tenure as attorney general, and there was a reference about how close he was that he made it, about how close he was to the inspector general at the time. that caused me concern because i hoped there was more independent from an inspector general. nobody is supposed to be an inspector general and be big buddies, with the attorney general. though he called me his buddy. i take that as a term of endeerment, even though he said, you don't want to go there, buddy. we never intended for you to have any impediment of getting documents. just so you're aware, for almost all of this administration, i've been seeking the documents that justice department gave to the defendants in the holy land foundation who were convicted of supporting terrorism. this attorney general has used such lines as, you know, classification u issues, things like that. whe
