we started off with the acting attorney general, whitaker, he thought that was one of the most importantyear. it rolled into the mueller report, rolled into barr being asked to come in and then he blew up that and then steve cowen and others making fun, bringing fried chicken to hearings. this is what we've been doing in the judiciary committee, having show hearings and really for the most part not concentrating on anything that can help the american people. maria: so congressman, what about that? if the attorney general, william barr is subpoenaed, is this going to be another show? is this going to be another waste 0 of our time? how many hearings have you had on national security and on china versus the number of hearings you've had on investigating donald trump? the american people deserve to know what you and your colleagues are spending your time doing. >> maria, you're incredibly accurate. this is going to be another show trial. let's just look at it. ag barr had every right and so did the president to fire that u.s. attorney. because every u.s. attorney serves at the pleasure of t
