I believe you can learn about the policy by using the simpsons. For instance, when homer and lisa were having a conversation about gun rights in america. Homer points out that guns are used for protecting your family and making sure that king of england does not push you around. Lisas responses, it is actually a relic of the revolutionary war era and it does not mean anything anymore. What do you think . I think the democrats of a i think the
Country. Please welcome me in welcoming the Deputy Attorney general of the united states, rod rosenstein. [applause] youre obviously in the news a bit about the russia matters, which i will which will not be discussed here today since its a pending investigation. I wonder if you might take us beyond that the role that you play on behalf of our country in terms of the rule of law, in terms of upholding justice in this country is very broad, very important so perhaps you could talk to us a little bit about the day in the life from your perch at the department of justice and what you do with respect to fighting crime, upholding the rule of law beyond some of the matters youre in the news for most frequently. Mr. Rosenstein as you recognize, its a lowprofile job in many respects. There are about 115,000 employees in the department of justice. You wouldnt know that if you only saw what was on the front page of the newspapers or on the cable tv news. But theres a lot that goes on in the depa
Dismantling Transnational Criminal Organizations. I would like to welcome the members of the subcommittee and express my appreciation to witnesses for being here today. The chair now recognizes himself for an opening statement, for which i will deliver mr. Kings opening statement. Law enforcement officers use many weapons to fight terrorism and crime on our streets. Some of these weapons, such as badges, guns and squad cars are easy to see. They are the hallmarks of police work. There are other weapons, however, that are harder to identify but every bit as vital.

In todays threat environment, much of the information needed by Law Enforcement in the United States is generated overseas. This is particularly true when it comes to combatting complex Transnational Criminal Organizations that threaten our safety here at home. Thes

Weighing in including perry and rubio who both said today they are not in favor of repealing that particular portion of our founding document. Al, how big a problem is Donald Trumps position on immigration for the party . Al it could be how moaningous. He sets an agenda and sticks with it. I have seen some loony ideas and saw democratic candidate hold up a rat one time. This may be the most fraudulent proposal. The birthright, he wants to repeal the 14th amendment which is the dred scott decision. And it would cost 600 billion plus. Bankrupt the government. This is the problem problem. John one thing you have to say for donald trump, he is going to play by the establishments rules. This is a detailed plan. You might think its unworkable and i think its not good policy, but its forcing republicans to react. And i think thats an interesting thing because none of the other ones have this level of detail on this rather important issue. Al you are right about that, its so crazy and unworkab
