When he was chair. Told them hem and that fisa was not used of thely, that the power government overstretched their the other ven when elements of government says, no, even when others told us everything was fine with fisa, it was not until the Inspector General got his report and the truth was known. And i want to thank congressman nunes for being the truth and telling it to the American Public and staying with it when others wanted to lie. Thats why we are here today. Thats why this will never continue or happen again. You know, madam speaker, at the heart of our constitution is a simple idea, the idea of checks and balances.
