senator wyden: mr. chairman, can i ask one other question forbearance because chairman grassley is gone and deals with his good work. senator grassley and i introduced legislation to strengthen incentives for whistleblowers under the tax code while also enhancing whistleblower protections. the chairman can't be here. obviously he's on the floor. you can't endorse legislation, obviously, commissioner, but i'd be interested in just one quick question. do you believe that there is a need for additional whistleblower protections, and set aside the bill that senator grassley and i have but, generally, do you need there needs to be a need for whistleblower protection? commissioner koskinen: i am a supporter of the whistleblower program. they need to be protected whether they are in the private sector or government agency. we need to encourage people if they think there is a problem going on wherever it is to be able to raise their hand, make that problem known without having retaliation against them. senator

cantwell, carper, menendez, nelson, is not senator reed, is not senator stabenow, and not senator wyden. his nomination also was not opposed by then-senator barack obama. it was not opposed by then-senator joe biden. and it was not opposed by then-senator hillary clinton. this level of support for the other party's nomination is almost unheard of in today's political climate. but now these very same colleagues are vowing to break 230 years of senate tradition to dispense with 230 years of precedent to joint a partisan filibuster of a nominee who has the right judicial temperament and holds mainstream views that are supported by the constitution. throughout the confirmation hearing process we heard judge gorsuch talk about the over 2,000 opinions that he was a part of, 2,700 decisions that he was a part of, and i believe he testified before the committee that he joined the majority in 97% of that's opinions. that's somebody who sounds to me like a person who could receive the unanimous support of the senate, who did receive the unanimous support of the senate, including colleagues who se

yesterday i had the opportunity to meet with senator wyden. the person from the administration taking the lead on that. i will look forward to working with the house and the senate, both republicans and democrats, to move forward on tax legislation. >> i am out of time. i want to make one observation that he has twice praised employees of the treasury department. i want to say that that is a refreshing and welcome change from what we have heard of until now and a lot of these hearings. >> president trump chose longtime business associate wilbur ross for commerce secretary. he was confirmed in late -27.uary or a vote of 72 he became an investor in the president's keynote -- casino operation. wilbur ross spent most of his career restructuring failing steel, coal, and, -- finance. thank you forn: being willing to leave your life in the private sector to the servant our -- to serve our nation. our number one priority has to be to grow the economy and realize the full potential of the american economy. what do you believe is the growth potential of

senator reed, senator wyden, all of them are here today. none of them objected to neil gorsuch. it's even more than that. then senator barack obama did not object to judge gorsuch's confirmation. then senator hillary clinton didn't object to judge gorsuch's nomination. and then senator joe biden helped pass his confirmation, his appointment, make sure it cleared on a voice vote. and so to hear the partisan bickering here is extremely disappointing and disingenuous. and so i hope this chamber will do what we do best in this country and that's come together on issues of doing our job of confirming a supreme court justice after spending the past several months complaining that the supreme court wasn't filled. this judge should receive bipartisan support as it did 11 years ago. and i guess the question has to be asked to people who are now opposing judge gorsuch today who either supported or did not object to him 11 years ago, did they not do their work 11 years ago? did they not realize he was a bad judge? or is the time of politics changed? or are we just dealing with a president

protest and started up at capitol hill when we were hearing from lawmakers like maxine waters and ron wyden is that he shou release his tax returns. we were told during the campaign it was because he was under audit and couldn't release them. of course, that doesn't actually preclude you from releasing your tax returns. people are saying on this tax day he should be releasing his tax returns. they want to see where his money is going and if he has any kinds of entanglements. one person who shares that concern is jan. >> i felt it was important to come out and say how i feel. i'm a moderate republican and i've taken a lot of flack for that but i feel betrayed by the republican party. i think what they are doing is reprehensible, crooked, treasonness and i felt like i had to come out here and say that. >> do you think that seeing these protests could make change and make trump release his tax returns? >> i think it can definitely result in change. you know, 330 million americans in this country, we're not going to stand for this. this is a democracy. it's not a monarchy. you can't put your fa

ron wyden saying not going to negotiate with trump if he's trying to take hostages. but behind the scenes, would democrats cut a deal with the white house if trump dropped repeal and said, okay, let's do an obamacare fix instead and call that trumpcare? you think democrats would go for that? >> it's a good question. i think there's two things. first of all, to the extent that donald trump is threatening to withhold money from insurance companies which will harm individuals across the country, which will make hospitals and hospital systems fall apart, if his threat is essentially, i'm going to inflict pain on people and destroy the american health care system, or i'll do it with you, we're not going to negotiate under any circumstances like that. now, what we have said all along is if they officially drop their proposals to destroy the affordable care act and we talk about iterating legislation and working on a bipartisan basis, everybody knows aca doesn't work perfectly. but everybody also knows that for any major social legislation, that you iterate it over years, w

i spoke to oregon senator ron wyden who expressioned this frustration to committee leaders. >> i've mader to the bipartisan leadership of the committee that i have serious concerns about the pace of the investigation. i believe you have to speed it up right now. the american people are getting most of their information leaks and false tweets and the issues i've focused on, follow money, following the trail of the dead bodies, it's important to use all the tools particularly are public hearings. >> that's one thing, too, jake democrats are concerned about. there's not been an agreement to issue subpoenas for key documents and to schedule the hearings from people like jared kushner and paul manafort, carter page, people suspected of having campaign contacts with russian officials but today, jake, the republicans are also defending the chairman of the committee richard burr including susan collins of maine say i understand why we want to move forward but we want to do this as thorough as possible which means it may take longer. >> democrats don't want to pay for the president's proposed bor

i guess i'm not as surprised by ron wyden saying that because he tends to be the most liberal of allo actually said something yesterday, but it has lit a fire, so to speak, under the republican majority right now in the senate. i do think they are going to be able to pull it together. i guess when you do have mark warner and dianne feinstein also voicing concern, that is a problem, they tend to work in a bipartisan mayber. we shouldn't equate to what the house is because it's an absolute disaster. >> david gregory, we know every time we take a pole, three out of four americans say there should be an independent investigation. is there any chance of that for ironically the same reason we're discussing why these investigations going, a partisan move, republicans behind independent counsel so probably doesn't happen. >> i don't see it happening. no way. the senate is the best hope because they were proceeding on this in a pretty serious way. but you know, chris, you identified it initially. this is really the fbi that's the tip of the spear here. the fbi has been compromised by jim come
