00:00I'm now going to recognize the chairman of the full committee.

00:05Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

00:06The previous speaker talked about facts.

00:07Here's one fact I know.

00:09It's night and day dealing with the Bondi-Patel Justice Department versus the Garland-Ray Justice

00:15Department.

00:16Under Pam Bondi as Attorney General, the Foreign Influence Task Force, that group that was

00:22responsible for censoring Americans, has been disbanded.

00:25The school board's memorandum has been rescinded.

00:29We sent seven subpoenas to Kash Patel five weeks ago.

00:31The response we've gotten is unbelievable compared to what we got under the previous

00:35Justice Department.

00:36He's actually given us thousands of documents already, new information that we tried to

00:40get from Director Ray that he wouldn't give us.

00:42We've already received.

00:44We'll be talking about some of that.

00:45So that is the fact, complete change from where we were with the previous Justice Department.

00:52The previous Justice Department, of course, that couldn't tell us who planted the pipe

00:57bombs, who leaked the Dobbs opinion, who put cocaine at the White House, couldn't tell

01:02us the answer to those questions.

01:03But oh, they had plenty of time to put together the memo to say, we're going to investigate

01:08moms and dads at a school board meeting, as the chairman pointed out.

01:11They put together a memorandum.

01:12We've now learned it wasn't just in the Richmond field office, but in other field offices where

01:16they were equating pro-life Catholics to extremists.

01:20We know they raided the president's home.

01:22We know they retaliated against whistleblowers.

01:25They even put together, the previous speaker talked about politics, politics, the FBI created

01:30a questionnaire where they asked their employees about other employees who were maybe giving

01:35information to us as whistleblowers.

01:37Did that person support Trump?

01:39That is as political as you can get.

01:42So the real thing here is it's literally night and day, the difference between the kind of

01:47information that we're able to receive, the help that we're getting, and the focus on

01:51going after traditional bad guys, not having half your agents and half your budgets focused

01:57on surveilling the American people.

01:59Let's go get the traditional bad guys.

02:01That's what Kash Patel is doing at the FBI, getting the FBI back to the mission they've

02:06had before, which I know some of our witnesses who serve there are going to talk about.

02:10So I thank the chairman for putting this together and I thank our witnesses for being here and

02:15I yield back.
