Transcripts
privilege was asserted with compli and I
yield
back sure thanks again L and Lady yields
back the gentleman from South Carolina
is
recognized you know I've sat here for
what two hours probably going to be
three or four you know and listen to
these smoke screens that my friends on
the other side of the aisle are saying
they bring up the trial of Donald Trump
convicted felon really by by a judge
that is a known anti-trumper you bring
out you bring out Mr natal I've got the
floor if if you're going to interrupt Mr
chairman call him down when he
interrupts it's my time and then I'll
let you respond but I'm tired of this
you you talk over everybody it's so rude
of you but he look you bring up the
smoke screen of Hunter
Biden uh I think we're here to talk
about a video Hunter Biden uh it is kind
of you know strange a gun charge what
about the L fake llc's that he's gotten
money from China what about the fake the
the millions he got in paintings we
don't know who contributed to him what
about um I mean you can name a lot of
other charges but we're not talking
about that and I'm tired of these smoke
screens you talking about the
miscarriage of Justice it really is uh
and Miss Hagerman you bring up a very
good point the fact that uh we're to
trust what what they
say that the transcript is real and the
the audio has no bearing on it I don't
understand as as uh our chairman said
they're putting up a
fight to prevent the American people
from seeing hearing the video and using
these lame excuses about altering that
Jordan altered some some tape somewhere
I don't know how you alter a a audio
tape uh can you tell me who has got the
audio tape and I think the chairman had
a valid point do they still exist this
Administration is lawless when it comes
to obeying the law what I can say is
that the information was gathered by Mr
her being the uh the the investigator in
this through the Department of Justice
and that's why the action has been
brought against Mary Garland because
Mary Garland is the one that has the
audio tape as my understanding now I
could be corrected on that but that has
been my assumption because he was the
person who appointed Mr her to conduct
this investigation and I believe that
the report was directed to him so that
has been my assumption throughout this
that they would have the the audio tape
and uh uh they've released they released
the transcript so if he doesn't have it
or if he's destroyed it that's that's a
serious or if they altered or omit or or
whatever they do with it but are you
comfortable I are you feel were you or
Mr com do y'all feel the tape still
exist because they're going to a big
extreme to defer and try to prevent the
American people to from hearing it well
all I can say on their behalf is I sure
hope
so Mr comr Mr n I'll get I I'll get to
you let me just it's my hope and it's my
understanding that they still exist
hopefully they didn't disappear like the
cocaine at the White House hopefully
they're still in existence and haven't
been destroyed Mr all you want to in a
quick way respond to it there is no
reason to believe that the tapes don't
still exist I would point out again that
the president has asserted executive
privilege and the proper forum for
disputing the executive privilege is in
court not by a contempt citation um once
the president Ser the executive
privilege it's not up to Mr uh uh the
Attorney General Mr Garland to present
the tape or not uh it's up to whoever
wants the tape in this case the
committee to go to court and contest the
executive uh privilege I'd also want to
point out on a separate matter that U
Miss Hagman brought up
that Hunter Biden was tried and
convicted by a jury of his peers it's
not about Hunter Biden well this is
about this is about the tape M natal she
brought up a number of things and that
the president or the former president
was was convicted by a a jury of his
peers and the questions she brings and
by the way he made uh evidentiary
rulings for the defense and against the
defense um and whether he his
evidentiary rulings were correct whether
his decision to exclude certain uh
Witnesses was correct will be decided on
appeal in the Appel division or maybe in
the court of appeals of the state of New
York and it's perfectly legitimate to
question that but it's not legitimate to
question the legitimacy of the trial
because that's a that those questions
are appell questions and will be
answered by the appell court well it
didn't work with Richard Nixon once the
once his uh once it was out the
transcript was out he couldn't claim
executive privilege but I guess that's
why the major news outlets are suing to
get something that you're trying to hide
that you don't want the American people
to see it's really an insult to the
American people that that you're going
to these
links uh having all this these words
about all these other uh that have
nothing to do with this let me run down
the timeline timeline and I this is
something I don't understand uh chairman
com Mr com you on Jan February 12th you
sent a letter requesting all the
documents and Communications including
the videos including the
Autos uh on Fe February 16th the doj
responded uh to you stating that they
were being
gathered um on February 27th the the Jud
I and oversight committee issued
identical subpoenas to uh Garland for
relevant information about the
transcripts and and about the the audio
uh the return date was March 7th and the
the doj produced an incomplete set of
documents comprising only correspondence
exchange no audio on March 9th the
committee notified the doj that its
production was inadequate and as an
accommodation you offered to extend the
date of production uh to for the for the
audio on to March 11th at 3 o'cl on
March 11th the doj informed the
committee that documents were undergoing
review by the agency inter agenc they
would not meet the committee's deadline
why is he getting extension after
extension I don't think Steve Bannon got
that I don't think um Peter Navaro got
that and I think you've demonstrated uh
factually the Great Lengths we've gone
to to try to work with them uh to help
them comply it shouldn't take any time
but we've gone to Great Lengths we've
gone above and beyond uh to make it as
convenient as as possible for them to
turn over uh those tapes which we
lawfully subpoenaed and then on April
15th the committee did respond just said
they were not going to produce them
didn't have to that is such a what are
the consequences what do you think and I
think we will vote this it of committee
and I think I hope the the house will
pass this what's the consequences for
Garland doing this will he be going
going to jail or we've seen Merrick
Garland has held others uh accountable
for being held in contempt of congress
so we'll see we'll see what happens he
has a he has set a precedent Meritt
Garland set a precedent of going after
people uh who Congress is held in
contempt for not complying with uh
subpoenas it's just isn't that
complicated audio doesn't lie audio he
either said it uh and they they're going
to these links to smoke screen every
other CA everything else to try to
prevent this to delay real quickly m m I
just want to point out when you talk
about the smoke screen that the senior
most career official at doj fellow named
Brad wein shimer submitted the
Declaration stating that he listen to
every word of the audio files and quote
the the interview transcripts are
accurate transcriptions of the words of
the interview contained in the audio
recording that's in uh paragraph 14 of
the wein shimer Declaration so the
allegations of the transcripts were Al
anyway what's that got to do with what
is that
man's uh his interpretation of the audio
and the transcript what's that got to do
with anything this is just release the
tapes let other people why are the news
networks having to sue to get Garin to
come to as I as I said before the reason
that there is a hesitation about giving
the uh audio to the Judiciary Committee
is that the Judiciary Committee has
previously altered audios uh to produce
um um in effect fake versions uh of Miss
um um we're not talk we're not talking
about that well we are talking about
that because there is a fear that if the
audio was given to the Judiciary
Committee Judiciary Committee Mr Jordan
or the people working for him will alter
that audio as they did for Mr Miss Jen's
audio and produce inaccurate um um uh
audios Miss can you respond to that sure
that accusation is
untrue well thank you for bringing this
uh this is this is an embarrassment to
be honest with you this is an
embarrassment with what they're what
they're doing uh i y back Mr chairman
