But that thats more like i want to thank Ranking Member klobuchar and her staff for working closely with me and my office as we prepared for today and i also want to thank our chairman, the chairman of the full Senate Judiciary committee, senator graham, for his support of this hearing. After i and then senator klobuchar giving our opening remarks, well hear from two panels of witnesses with questions from members of the subcommittee.
