what is your understanding of what this committee's been asked to do
0:08
my understanding is that the committee has been asked to review
0:12
the incidents related to dating I see attacks in
0:15
college the as you described at the beginning in all of the aspects
0:18
it seeks so your understanding is that we have an ass to look at all
0:22
policies decisions and activities that contributed to the attacks
0:28
certainly that's our understanding and
0:31
Mb we support providing information related
0:34
that affected our ability to prepare for the attacks but if that's akin
0:40
if that's the ultimately the decision brothers ride
0:43
brother resolution right you're not disagreeing with my in 2008
0:47
resolution for you we defer to you the committee's direction on
0:51
on helpless person clothing executive branch efforts to identify and bring to
0:55
justice the perpetrators of these attacks did you read that the resolution
0:58
sir I don't have it in France I can't quite happy
1:02
thrilled to get your copy the resolute for the meantime use gonna have to take
1:06
my word
1:06
did it also says executive branch efforts
1:09
to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of these attacks that
1:13
in the resolution can you tell me specifically how
1:17
our interviewing witnesses is going to jeopardize the prosecution
1:21
sir their department just has been clear with I'm asking you
1:25
it was in your opening statement I'm asking you you tell me
1:29
a former prosecutor how our interviewing witnesses that have already been
1:34
interviewed by the AARP
1:35
already been interviewed by the best practices panel and frankly already been
1:39
interviewed
1:44
I'm not a pro
1:45
eater what I am is the chief liaison to the house for the State Department
1:49
blame conveying is that the justice department has told us
1:52
that this could have an impact they would like to have a conversation
1:55
with you in your committee about that what do you do you believe that congress
1:59
has the constitutional authority to provide oversight
2:01
every day I do that with my job yes
2:04
to you you do agree with that what is your
2:08
interpretation of the phrase all policies decisions and activities
2:12
in what context
2:16
in any context about contributed to the attacks
2:19
what is your understanding all policies all decisions all activities
2:24
the reproach it
2:27
we're taking a states permit is to provide materials to the committee
2:31
at the direction of the committee the request for interviews
2:35
that you have reiterated here today I am
2:38
explaining that the justice department is said they would like to have
2:42
conversations with the committee
2:43
for the concern about the protest aerobic welfare love these Asian
2:46
our shoppers all ask you something okay because there or
2:50
toil people up here who may not agree on another single solitary thing
2:54
but every one of us agrees that we don't want to do anything to jeopardize
2:59
the physical security %uh anybody who works for this government
3:02
nor does anybody on this diana's want to do anything to jeopardize an ongoing
3:07
prosecution
3:08
okay can we stipulate that that nobody to do either of those things
3:12
certainly you also stipulate that you can talk to witnesses
3:16
while preserving their I their identity not jeopardizing an ongoing prosecution
3:20
I am confident that in the conversations between the Justice Department committee
3:25
that those modalities can be discussed
3:27
I strode expert ours for a bit you do you see the justice department at this
3:32
hearing
3:32
no sir do you know why they're on at this hearing
3:36
no sir because we don't have any issues with them that's why they're not here
3:40
you just cited a reason to deny access to witnesses
3:46
even the justice department has incited so what I want you to do
3:51
help this committee gain access to precisely the same witnesses
3:56
that everyone else from the AARP to the best practices panel to your
4:00
own agent who compiled a training video
4:03
had access to the witnesses sir at
4:07
as I said in my opening statement we are happy to have the conversation with your
4:11
staff on how to you
4:12
engage on this and that is something that we're open to
4:16
we have never said no for I project at appreciated
4:19
um but but i wanna make sure that you and I have a clear understanding with
4:23
each other
4:23
it's six people observed an important that you were being asked to write a
4:27
final definitive accounting
4:29
other to bed how many the six would you want to talk to serve the
4:36
I understand it's not a trick question I i kno such a question and I understand
4:40
the point and this is why
4:42
we are all know if you want to sell I want provided the quantity of documents
4:46

4:48
press room we're gonna get we're gonna get to the quality documents in a minute
4:51

5:24

5:33
roughly 70,000 seventy thousand correct
5:37
ride and we ever ask for emails from 7
5:41
more principles do you think that that is a reasonable request when you have
5:45
been asked to study
5:46

6:20
by as a as for you may have noticed my colleague from maryland used the word
6:24
glacial
6:25
a fine that upon these are the word intersting
6:29
when you vote against constituting a committee
6:32
when you threatened not to participate in the committee
6:35
when you continually threatened to walk away from the committee
6:38
when you can identify a single solitary person that you would issue a subpoena
6:43
to
6:43
when you're prepared to have been asked and answered website
6:47
before you got the 15,000 pages of documents that you just provide
6:51
what you expect members of congress who are having conversations with people on
6:55
airplanes to stop the conversation and say let me go get a democrat
6:59
you heard the word glacial
7:02
we're gonna pick up the pace we're gonna pick up the pace I have no interest in
7:07
prolonging this
7:08
died so you're going to have to pick up the pace with its okay
7:12
absolutely and this is why we were here today
7:16
we have made two witnesses available since
7:19
the fall of last year we are prepared anytime
7:22
proactively as UN Alex no appreciate that this trip and are you familiar with
7:27

7:36
creation you agree congress created a or b yes do you agree congress commander

Congress to change it right you agree congress should provide oversight over
7:50
what about statutory creations
7:52
yes how can we do that if you wanna give us the documents related to the RB
7:56
how can we possibly do that this trip serve first up to 40,000
8:02
pages of documents that the committee has received many of those
8:05
are in fact related to the AARP mister rubin I appreciate
8:09
I really do I really do I appreciate the the word many
8:13
I appreciate the forty thousand I keep coming back to one word this in the
8:18
house resolution
8:19
in and outward all cert
8:24
do we have all book up the document but we
8:28
what we have communicated to you and and your stuff from what we doing
8:31
grateful for is the committee's explanation of his top priorities
8:36
and we would very be very honored it to continue to have this discussion
8:42
if the air be as as you noted here becomes a top priority
8:46
that is certainly room and we should have our pick up on priority ship 70,000
8:51
employees
8:52
I mean what what we're not gonna do is identify want ron shipp the emails
8:57
and that too much later go a poser do a witness interview with that witness and
9:01
the two months later get another charger the males
9:04
when our colleagues on the other side by the way had no interest in forming this
9:08
committee whatsoever better now
9:10
ironically complaining about the pace to the committee that they had no interest
9:13
in forming whatsoever
9:14
is shop for us to pick up the pace said and i'm looking to you
9:18
to help me do that and and that's why we're here and that's what we've
9:22

9:30
engaged in their jobs I appreciate that I don't want ambassador security guards
9:36
I know what
9:37
eat body taken all of an important
9:40
job but
9:43
compliance with congressional increase is important and if you have time for
9:47
condom demonstrations or culinary diplomacy
9:50
I think you have time to comply with a legitimate request for documents
9:54
from congress and I'm sure you
