I am going to put you up first. Thank you all for being here today. We appreciate your time and your interest in some of our concerns, and the purpose of this is to convey our concerns that the department of justice, we are waiting for them to give us some kind of admission they are actually investigating the multiple allegations of improprieties in this 2020 president ial election. We have a keen interest in that, but we think all American People do as well, and we want to call attention to our efforts to communicate with the department of justice and attorney general barr to have him include us in the information he has us appears to be investigating.

Good morning, this hearing is called to order. The title of this hearing is congressional oversight in the face of executive branch and media suppression, and in particular case study of the crossfire hurricane, corrupt investigation. Ill add that. The hearing is actually quite a bit broader than that. But well certainly focus on that. I became chairman of this committee in january of 2015 and will complete my sixyear term at the end of this month. We can all be proud of the more than 100 piece of legislation we worked on together as a committee that became law. The other than more than 200 bills we passed out of committee, although not signed into law, can still serve as the basis for future legislation. Our committee and subcommittees also have broad oversight jurisdiction, and responsibilities that we have not ignored. We investigated and exposed problems within the Va Health Care system, human trafficking, National Security leaks, and systemic violations of the hatch act within the
This 2020 president ial election. We have a keen interest in that and we think a lot of American People do, as well, and we want to call attention to our efforts to communicate with the department of justice and attorney general barr to have him include us in the information that hes ostensibly, appears to be, anyway, that theyre investigating, but weve seen none and im want sure anyone in america has. We will hear from several of our members today. The first one well hear from is congressman ralph norman from South Carolina. Raff ralph . Thank you, chairman. I thank all of you for coming out. The bedrock of our republic is open, transparent, Fair Elections and thats what as andy alluded to, we are encouraging the doj and were encouraging an open transition of examining everything and where theres smoke theres fire and immediately after november 3rd, the press started calling for the president to concede and basically anoint biden.

The vote count fight. We have more on controversies there. We have more on this story, president barack obama on 60 minutes went after President Trump said he should concede gracefully. That President Trump addressed journalists even though his administration targeted reporters and more. Stocks rocketing to record highs. The dow hitting nearly 30,000 on effective covid19 vaccine, this from moderna. That is igniting this new fight. Do we still need political power plays of politicians doing extreme lockdowns as more vaccines come in . We have got more examples of do as i say not as i do democrats breaking their own covid19 shutdown rules. This one involves top democrat leaders like nancy pelosi. Also more on the democrats hey, we shrunk the party as a threat to their party now is so bad in the house that top democrat leaders like pelosi and steny hoyer are circling the wagons to stay in power.

Welcome, everybody. I think we have some republicans that have a leadership election, but theyll be coming in. Can you see me . Can you hear me . Is it working . Well, the election is over. Theyre still counting the votes and making legal challenges and once all of the legal challenges are made and the votes are counted, well have that done.

I cant wait to have the social media ceos come to the committee and explain themselves about their platforms. I think theres a lot of bipartisan support to take a hard look at social media platforms. The earned act is still a business pending before the committee and after the hearing well have markup. But today, we have mr. Mccabe, the number two at the fbi during crossfire hurricane. I think hes going to appear remotely. I appreciate him coming. And what ill do
