00:00Suicide by cop. The guy had a hit list in his pocket. He had six names, Republican members of Congress on a piece of paper in his pocket. Comey, McCabe, Ray. They all knew that it was domestic terrorism, but that didn't fit their narrative because this was the FBI that spied on a presidential campaign. This was the FBI that said if you're a parent going to a school board meeting, you need to be investigated. This was the FBI that said if you're a pro-life Catholic, you're in
00:29extremist. This is the FBI who raided President Trump's home, and this is the FBI who had 26 confidential human sources at the Capitol on January 6th. And it's the same FBI who can't tell us who planted the pipe bombs, who can't tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion, and who can't tell us who put cocaine at the White House. So we shouldn't be surprised that they reached the wrong conclusion. They knew what the facts were, as Dr. Jackson just said and as the chairman just said. The good news is, as Ronnie indicated,
00:59we now have folks running this organization who are actually focused on doing what the FBI should be doing, on getting the truth to the American people, on dealing with bad guys.
01:08Kash Patel's doing a great job. Pam Bondi at the Justice Department, Todd Blanch and their team are doing a great job, and that's the good news.
01:14So I want to thank the chairman, both the chairman of the subcommittee, the chairman of the full committee, and all these guys behind me who work on the intel committee for the good work they did over several years, as you know.
01:24And, of course, we really want to thank, on that day, the Capitol Hill police, who saved our colleagues' life and did so much good work in a terrible situation.
01:34But for the FBI to give us this baloney and hang with that crazy story for this long, but for the work of these folks, we never got the truth.
01:42But them telling us the wrong thing is consistent with all the other BS they did over the last several years.
01:47Thank goodness we've got an FBI that's now focused on doing the work they're supposed to do.
01:51I yield back to the chairman.
