mr. lynch: thank you, mr. chairman. first of all, i'd like to thank chairman shuster and ranking member defazio for their hard work and also mr. larsen as well. i have to confess that mentally in my mind i have a list of republicans i wish wouldn't run for office again, but i'm proud and happy to say, mr. shuster, you are not on that list. i just want to congratulate you on your good work, not only on this bill, but in the past on a lot of issues that affect not only the constituents in your district but also people across this country. so thank you for your service. i was hoping that i might come to the floor today to talk about ways that we might prevent terrorists and criminal organizations from registering aircraft in the united states. there's a department of transportation inspector general report that is well-known to members here that asically lays out the case for more closely scrutinizing the registration of u.s. aircraft. they came up with a few glaring examples that i'll mention here. recently, it was discov

the gentleman from massachusetts mr. lynch and subcommittee thank you for your testimony. >> make sure your mic is on. >> i should know that, shouldn't i. >> thank you. >> the caravan organized by immigrants rights group in middle of march 2018 had grown more to 1,000 people by the end of the month. this was eighth year but most noticeable because of large number of participants. this caravan little noticed issue on the southwest border and that is sharp increase in the number of alien reversing downward trend that had begun in 2016. from 66,000 until october 2016, number theally lens were seeking entry without proper documents along the southwest border had dropped to 15,000,780 by 2017. slowly increase by the spring and winter before declining into the mid 30,000s. march 2018, with congress having debated amnesty for doca applicants those numbers sky rocketed to 50,000 aliens. if that continues that would be 600,000ally lens in the year. this increase in the car van brought into focus some crucial loop holes and flaws in u.s

so i think mrs. lynchot to answer for, and she has -- she's skated through with not much in the way of questions either on the abuse of the fisa courts, the misuse of the dossier and the general illicit targeting of not only donald trump, then his team and then, of course, all the leaks that may have come out of her justice department and her fbi for which she was responsible for after the election in 2017. ms. lynch has a lot to answer for. todd: and, tom, just to review, what documents has the doj and fbi turned over regarding text messages on that meeting on the tarmac? >> well, the fbi first told us they had no documents. then they told us after they found out, well, maybe we do have documents, and they gave us documents showing us they were more concerned about leaks from the meeting. and then we found out thanks to the strzock/page e-mails that they were talking about the tarmac meeting. what about these text messages? they basically told us to jump in a lake. it's a modified, limited hangout when it

the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch and gem of the subcommittee. thank you. >> make sure your mic's on. >> i should know that. a caravan organized by immigrant's rights group in the middle of march in 2017 had drown more than a thousand people by the end of the month. this was the 8th year such caravan had been assembled but more notable because of a large number of participates. this caravan went through a number of issues, that is a short increase for a number of admissions reverses a downward trend that it be done in november of 2016. from 66,712 to october 16, illegals entering had dropped to 15,780 by april 2017. the numbers increased before it began to climb in the mid-30,000s. the numbers skyrocketed to 50,308 apprehended aliens. if this continue it will be 60,000 in a year. this brought into focus some crucial loopholes and flaws in immigration law. in 1996 congress amended the law to expedite the movement of aliens entering illegally. these included a provision to allow aliens fleeing harm to avoid expedited removal by asserting fear of pr

which was never done by mrs. lynchtorney general lynch and james comey and let the grand jury decide whether or not to indict her. i'm convinced they will indict her. >> trish: you get the indictment. >> she is prosecuted like anybody else. the president may decide i don't want to prosecute my campaign opponent, i'm going to give her a pardon. >> trish: you know why i bring it up and i only bring it up because, look, this is what you see in places like brazil. this is what you see in government systems that do not have transitions of power that move peacefully. that said, if this -- if she deserves it, we also can't stand by, i think, judge, and allow that to happen. >> judge: you put your finger right on it, trish. the president has done the same. because he said during the campaign she should be charged, she should be indicted. she should be prosecuted like anybody else. after he got elected he said you know what? we're not a ba than marie public. ultimately it would be his decision. which public policy better that a

not because of mrs. lynch, but because of jim comey spoke. will be on everywhere. on fox, everywhere. look, her behavior in some respects was reprehensible. it was given that she told them to call it a matter. i know that to be so because i know of fbi agents who taunted them, gently, because he's their boss and you're not the of the fbi and they're the director of the federal bureau of matters. we all know this happened in a serious way. she claims he was preserving hillary clinton's innocent and she's innocent until proven guilty, but not calling it a criminal investigation. we do criminal investigations and redo national security. that's all the fbi does. >> they are undermining each other. >> i'm not so sure it that serious. it shows a willingness on the part of the attorney general of the united states to protect hillary clinton's political chances and undermine the criminal investigation. i could give you a dozen reasons why the criminal investigation was doomed to fail, all of which are caused by mrs. lynch or people under her the doct

, amendment number 87, printed in house report 115-650, offered by gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch, had been disposed of. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. shuster: i offer amendments en bloc. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendments en bloc. the clerk: en bloc number four consisting of amendments number 102, 103, 105, 106, 10 , 111, 113, and 116 printed in part a of house report number 115-650, offered by mr. shuster of pennsylvania. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 839, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. shuster, and the gentleman from oregon, mr. defazio, will each control 10 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: thank you, mr. chairman. i support considering these amendments en bloc, all of which have been approved by both the majority and minority. these members put forward thoughtful amendments and i'm pleased to be able to support moving them en bloc. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defa

mrs. lynch's f.b.i. team kept the press away from it and the nbc camera hundreds of yards away.was hillary clinton being investigated by the d.o.j. at the time, so was bill because the foundation was being investigated at that time. for her to have had this private meeting with a person who was the subject of a criminal investigation, never mind he is the former president and the person that made her a federal prosecutor eight years before, was such bad form jim comey had to do something about it. >> bill: cut through the clinton email investigation and all that. are they trying to affirm each other's story in order to protect the department of justice? >> probably. >> bill: if there is a book out in a week there is intent to do the interview now. >> i think you're right, bill. there is an institutional view of protecting the justice department even to the point of not prosecuting misdeeds performed by predecessors in the d.o.j. i suggest to you that both jim comey and we'll hear from him in a couple of weeks and loretta lynch from whom we'll hear snippets on nbc tonight subscri

chair now recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome vice chairman quarles. i would like to follow up on miss moore's earlier question, regarding the volker rule. january 19th of this year, you gave a speech to the american bar association, banking law committee and you outlined plans to review and modify numerous bank regulations. during your remarks, you said -- this say quote. the relevanting as have become work on a proposal to streamline the volker rule. it will naturally take a bit of work but volker rule reform remain a priority. i'm not sure that was the same response that miss moore got. i just want to ask you about that. so, the volker rule, at least the core of the volker rule says no more proprietary trading. we had a disaster back during the housing crisis. a lot of these banks were engaging in speculative activ y activity, very, very highly speculative and risky activity in terms of credit default swaps and all that. these banks got in trouble and we had to bail them out. we said no -- the volker rule said no more

one good thing that has come out of jim comey's tour is the political decisions made by mrs. lynchenforcement, political while she was attorney general. the public needs to know about that. if crimes were committed, that needs to be examined. maria: she said to him call the criminal investigation a matter, don't call it a criminal investigation. that was one thing and we know about the famous -- infamous meeting of the tarmac with bill clinton a few days before hillary was to go on her interview with the fbi which wasn't event recorded. >> right, did loretta lynch mobilize the doj which is supposed to be a neutral prosecuting entity to attempt to salvage the political campaign of hillary clinton for president, that's what we need to know. maria: all right, judge, we will watch that, thanks so much, judge andrew napolitano. >> great interview coming up. maria: i am thrilled to be sitting down this morning, thank you, judge, in an exclusive interview this morning with president george w. bush and laura bush at 8:00 a.m. eastern, do stay with us for that interview this morning as we l

the chair now recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch. >> thank you, mr.chairman director mulvaney, welcome. thank you for appearing before the story to help us with our work. i do want to touch upon a couple things. one is i know there's some contest about the appropriateness of your appointment and so i don't want any of my questions or my engagement with you to count against those who might challenge the appropriateness of that appointment. >> understood. thank you, sir. >> however, i do want to touch and one thing you mentioned at the outset, and that is that you are not required to come before this committee and testify, that you could, i think i'm quoting, sit there and twiddle your thumbs. you want to point out, first of all were you saying that in just? i know you are fairly comfortable here having been a member. >> no, sir. i hope i proven by my responses that an interested in -- >> i know you're not standing on that. i just questioning whether you actually bleed. >> i do. anyway what tie you when you're faced with competing language, similar lang

mr. comey should be investigated just like hillary clinton and loretta lynch and everybody else that was shown to be tainted and have dirt on their hands. mr. comey is right in the top and right with rob rosenstein himself. i don't know why we don't have enough fire. i introduced an amendment saying defund mr. mueller's investigation. these things are have to stop because they disrupt the public. and the impeachment if mr. trump fires mueller doesn't make sense to me. >> lou: your reaction to district court judges who decide they can rise above the constitution and tell the president of what to do and immigration policy and national security. and your thoughts? >> yeah. i read that opinion from judge batees itself. this is judicial activism and you find their pictures in the dictionary and this has to stop as well. and there is things we should do and limiting their jushgs dirz and some of these folks need to be removed. and setting aside. without constitutional authority. what the president of the united states clearly has power and authority to do and what they did in this one, you have

mr. comey should be investigated just like hillary clinton, loretta lynch, everybody that's shown to be tainted. you know, they have a little dirt on their hands. and mr. comey is right at the top. he's kind of the hub with the rod rosenstein himself. and i don't know why we can't seem to get enough fire anywhere else. but that's why i introduced an amendment on that omnibus bill saying defend mr. mueller's investigation. these kinds of things have to stop because they're disrupting the republic. and these threats of impeachment of the president if he were to fire mueller, that doesn't make sense to me. lou: as a member of the judiciary, your reaction to three district court judges who decided that have special knowledge, special powers that rises above the constitution and they can tell the president of the united states what to do on the i issue of immigration, policy, national security. your thoughts. >> yeah. look. i read that opinion from judge bates today. and this is -- you're exactly right. this is you dish activism that you would find their pictures in the dictionary. this has got to s

special general's investigation into james comey's fbi coordinated with loretta lynch's doj in the hillary clinton investigation. mr. comey denied that to congress and now a prominent republican lawmaker says mr. comey may have lied. also, comey now saying he regrets his tell-all memorial includes inflattering words about the president. has the damage already been done? >> if i had it to do all over again, i wouldn't put that paragraph in even though just because it gave people a hand hold who hadn't red the book to attack the book. ♪ gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea can start in the colon and may be signs of an imbalance of good bacteria. only phillips' colon health has this unique combination of probiotics. it helps replenish good bacteria. get four-in-one symptom defense. manait's a series of is nsmart choices. and when you replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday progress. i'm your phone,istle text alert. stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer

the debate started during the tenure of loretta lynch and continued through mr. comey investigation of hillary. it is important to distinguish between the ranking and file professionals at the f.b.i. and people who make mistakes and overstep their bounds and gave, unfortunately, the rest of the organization -- tainted their name. so i want to take a moment to do what director ray has done in the past, and that is to reintroduce people to the f.b.i. the american public needs to be reminded of what the f.b.i. actually does and how pivotal that work is and how long it has been doing it. the f.b.i. has been existence since 198, and i think relentless is the best way to describe it. they have helped to serve crimes like cold-blooded murder like happened in my state in 1983. last year the f.b.i. added the suspect to the top ten most wanted list and shortly thereafter, the man turned himself in. it took more than three decades, but the f.b.i. pursued all leads until finally it got its man. that's just one example of what happens every day at the f.b.i. under the effecti

mr. comey said loretta lynch asked him not to talk about hillary clinton's investigation but hillary clinton'ss pressing her on that. watch this. >> i heard about that testimony and my first response was, what, you know, what is the issue here? you know, i remember specifically talking with him as we talked about sensitive things on a number of occasions this was a very sensitive investigation as everyone knew. and the issue when he and i sat down at that time i think was early in the fall of 2015 was whether or not we were ready as a department to confirm an investigation going on. when we typically do not confirm or deny investigations into anything with rare exceptions. we had a full and open discussion about it and concerns were not raised. brian: no concerns were raised. i don't trust her explanations anything but cogent. what is your take? >> yeah. a lot of euphemisms, a whole lot of nothing there, a lot of filibustering but finally i hope, guys, we're going to get the truth about the tarmac tryst. i have to salute judicial watch for the foia lawsuits that are dislodging a lot of that in

mr. brooks said and really encourage you to reach out to loretta lynch. i had the chance to speak with her on a conference call. the idea that energy could be led by somebody like that is unfathomable to me. but i want to appreciate all of the work that sfpuc did to try to fill the breach at the california public utilities commission which is really a huge cesspool. communities that don't have lawyers have very little traction at tthere. the pca hearing has been going on for years, so really just want to appreciate that. want to support the discussion of cca 2.0 or even 3.0 at this point going forward, and want to just briefly mention as new cca programs come on-line, they have different program design options. east bay's program is going to be launching this year, and they have actually -- so their default program, which is let's clean the nars, and people are not happy about that, but it's 6% below pg&e rate, and they have this cool option called community investment, where you take the cheapy product, the default product, but you forego your discount,

mr. trump have been at odds over a myriad of issues including climate change, immigration and sanctuary state status. >>> lester holt sits down with loretta lynch for an exclusive interview. they talk about president trump's firing of former fbi director james comey and her role in comey's investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails, including the conversation the two had about it. >> we often would have to discuss sensitive matters, sensitive issues, terrorism and the like. law enforcement policy and the like. this was a very sensitive investigation, as everyone knew. the issue when he and i sat down at that time, which i think was early in the fall of 2015, was whether or not we were ready as a department to confirm an investigation going on. >> a rare glimpse behind the scenes. watch more of this interview coming up on "nightly news" with lester holt in 20 minutes. >> the rain is gone. it's starting to feel like spring. temperatures in the 80s. a lot of cities, including san jose. don't get used to it. it's not going to last long. more rain is in the forecast. could be as early as tomorrow. the shower chances and is it really coming back? >

lynch told nbc news the meeting was "purely social." >> at any moment where you said mr.sident, this is probably not appropriate for this is going to look bad? >> during the course of the conversation, it seems like we were going to say hello, hi, how how are you? it would continue. >> harris: lynch also said fbi director james comey raised no objections to calling the clinton email case "a matter" instead of an investigation. watch. >> when we talked about the issues, we had a full and open discussion about it. >> it didn't raise any concerns? >> concerns were not raised. >> harris: lynch also called james comey's decisions announcing no charges against hillary clinton "unusual." all interesting timing, ahead of james comey's notebook new book. jason chaffetz, the tarmac meeting was purely social and she said it was hot outside. and she wanted to invite him onto the plane. >> none of that adds up but attorney general's don't have 3t sitting on a runway, especially when it's 105 degrees with nothing to do. the inspector general will look at the manifest of bill clinton. w

to describe these lynchings and when they use the word even hate crimes, they undervalue what this was. this was terrorism. older people of color come up to me sometimes and they say, mrestic terrorism for the first time after 9/11. we had to worry about being bombed and lynched and menaced every day of our lives. the geographic of this country was shaped by terrorism. the black people in cleveland and detroit and oakland and boston didn't go to those communities to look for opportunities, they went to those communities as refugees and exiles from terror in the american south. it is the kind of stain, it is the kind of tragedy that haunts this region. because as you've described, everyone was complicit. people of faith, the law enforcement community, judges, lawyers, all would come out and they would celebrate and they would actually enjoy this carnival of violence. and i look at the photographs where young children are being brought, lifted up so they can see a black man burn to death, to see a black woman mutilated, to see these people hanged and tortured, and it has done something terrific to our psyche that we have to address. >> like they were going to a circus o

mr. comey at the urging of then-attorney general loretta lynch calls the clinton investigation a matter, not an investigation. misleads the american people. we all know it was an investigation. some of my colleagues have said last time they checked he wasn't running the federal bureau of matters. it was the federal bureau of investigations. it was an investigation. in the attempt to play it down, he misleads the american people, calls it a matter, not an investigation. then when it came to our president , he allows the perception to exist with the american people that president trump is under investigation, when in fact he wasn't and had been told by james comey himself that he wasn't under investigation. drule mccabe who we have leshed in the last few days actually misled his boss and misled the inspector general on two different investigations, four times total, as they say didn't tell the truth. so we need a special counsel to look into all this. and it was those guys, mr. comey and mr. mccabe, who were involved at the f.b.i. when the whole dossier thing unfolded, where they took an o

mr. slick, you tell us your friend dan richmond is a special government employee. pray tell, who made him that. who did his background check? like mccabe and lynch you just throw him under the bus. federal regulations require an employee, even he, should not allow the use of private information to further his own interests. and he had to be trained and agree to this. he had to recognize this responsibilities regarding unauthorized documents. you know, jim, you say it's not a leak and we should believe it because you said it. and you are so brazen you think you can change the rules a we go along and we'll follow like fools. >> jim comey has a definition of the word leak that no one else has. what he says is a leak the rest of us call a felony. leak is disclosing a confidential conversation which is exactly what he did. judge jeanine: jim, you leaked the memo because you were an anti-trumper who wanted to begin an intelligence investigation and you wanted to embarrass the president by making it public. and you didn't get the required permission from the fbi or doj to do it. and jim you and i both know since it was part of an investigation it becom

mr. chairman. one of the things in reading the president's tweet, at the end, the president says where are the memos on clinton, lynchnd the others? i think that's a good place to start with you because as i understand it, you guys have received something like, i don't know, 3,000 out of 1.2 million memos and documents. when do you think you will get them? >> well, we're still fighting to get them. the good thing is that both the judiciary committee and the oversite committee are now also fully engaged in this and we're running out of time. the thing that i don't like about all of this is it seems like we have to get to the point where we threaten subpoena or threaten contempt or threaten impeachment before we're delivered any documents and that has to stop immediately. if doj can't deliver them, then the executive branch is going to have to step in, or congress is going to have to go to these great lengths to get this. what i'm worried about here and i don't think it's a big secret that they are just trying to stall. the democrats, the mainstream media, i think people within doj and fbi, they think they can take bac

lynch, condoleezza rice and jeff sessions. he also adds a very important caveat to what he says about mr. trump. comey writes, quote, i have one perspective on the behavior i saw. which while disturbing and violating basic norms of ethical leadership, may fall short of being illegal. that's really important to remember. i want to bring in phil rutger, "washington post" bureau chief who read the entire book in one day. you were busy yesterday. i want to start with what president trump tweeted this morning. because certainly it's already gotten to him. james comey is a proven leaker and liar. virtually everyone in washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did until he was, in fact, fired. he leaked classified information, for which he should be prosecuted. he lied to congress under oath. he is a weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible director of the fbi. his handling of the crooked hillary clinton case and the events surrounding it will go down as one of the worst botch jobs of history. it was my great honor to fire james comey. put this slime ba

his sexual molestation trial but mr mansour oh i think he just overplayed his hand he was calling the victim a pathological liar he was saying this was like a lynching for me and as an african-american. finish that actually finish that sentence and then i want to pick up on what you know and then african-american i think i think to portray bill cosby's trial of the sexual assault case that of the lynching i mean that was disgusting to me so some of what you just said about what thomas said about the women who testified even now with this guilty verdict and with dozens and dozens of accusers there are still critics that will question the women or say yes but etc etc what would you say to people who say well why don't women come forward sooner what do you say to people like that. i say it's very difficult i mean any woman who has had and there have been a lot of women including myself that i've never been sexually assaulted but i've been in situations where honestly years have gone by and i didn't tell anyone i'm not a psychologist i'm not a sociologist so i can't explain the why to that but i can say it's not uncommon whether it's because of shame or

i think loretta lynch was trying to do her job and didn't make any effort to try to impede the investigation, tried to keep it in the hands of mrcomey. as it turned out, at the end of the investigation, he said there is no reason a prosecutor would find this to be a criminal matter. we kept saying it was a security review. lo and behold, if you look back to his statement on july 5th when he finally announced his decision, he said, you know, this matter belongs in the security review box. i think he's throwing shade on everybody but accepting very little responsibility himself. >> he had this message for hillary clinton. listen to this. >> i hope hillary clinton at least reads those parts of the book because i think she will walk away saying, you know what? i still think that guy is an idiot, but you know, he's kind of an honest idiot. and he's trying to do the right thing here. >> have you spoken to hillary clinton, gotten her reaction to this? >> not since his interviews and the book. >> you know her well. you worked with her for a long time. how do you think she'll respond when she says, i still think this guy is an idiot, bu
