00:00I thank the gentlelady. I'm struck by, as I said earlier, the saying, and some people

00:08say it, you'd gag on a gnat but swallow an elephant. You're concerned about fine points

00:17of what Mazur's requires in terms of an accommodation process when personal information about the

00:26president is sought and how that accommodation process should occur, but you spent years

00:32trampling every norm in sight in ways that would be unimaginable. Steve Bannon, who is

00:43scheduled to report on July 1, would be interested at your solicitousness for a private citizen

00:49long out of the picture, who, in this case, is a firm record that he got classified information

00:59disclosed to him. So would Peter Navarro as he sits in jail. Remember that Mazur's arose

01:42the Justice Department to work assiduously and with great urgency pointing at timing

01:50in relationship to the upcoming election in which their political opponent stands as the

01:58object of prosecutions across the board, and they want to make sure they get tried to maximize

02:06their political opportunity from it, and then they want to talk about the White House, we

02:10should stop everything for the White House that shows up two days before a hearing on

02:14a resolution to enforce contempt. It's unbelievable.
