investigations into the current president s family. ted lieu, democrat of california, set to orient facts as they exist on earth one. watch. let me ask you a series of basic questions to get facts out to the american people about our system of justice. trump adviser roger stone was convicted in a federal court, correct? that s my recollection. trump donor elliott brady was convicted in a federal court. correct? also my recollection. the attorney general at the time for those two convictions was bill barr, which president nominated bill barr for attorney general? president trump. you were the fbi director for all of those cases at the time. which president nominated you? president trump. okay. what these facts show is we don t have a two-tiered system of justice. we have one department of justice that goes after criminals regardless of party idealogy. all of these folks were convicted under the administrations of three separate republican attorneys gene ....
He is sleeping at this point because he is fighting wars and battles in so many different states. and i think it is important, just as you kind of laid it out for the viewers as you opened up, talking about the fact that we can t look at this as if it s a monolith. we can t look at this as if it s only happening in one place. but we have to understand that it is multifaceted, and it is working through each of our state houses. it s one of the reasons you know, you didn t bring up abortion access, but that can fall in the same category, right? the fights that we are waging right now for simple freedoms, freedoms that we thought had been fought and bled for and won years ago. but unfortunately, that s not where we are. right now we re living in a time where facts are failing the republicans. and so lies are being lauded. i understand that you had dan goldman on a little bit earlier. i serve on the oversight committee with dan. and i can tell you right now we re pushing back. our job is ....
Dismantle and defund the fbi. and it goes beyond the fbi. the attacks on the department of justice writ large, the fbi, of course, is part of the department of justice. the attacks that they are politicizing their investigations and their prosecutions, and i think it s notable that, you know, even some republicans like representative buck did step in to actually thank director wray for the things that he s been doing because, you know and i i ll note that others not parts of these hearings today, people like former attorney general alberto gonzalez, former attorney general bill barr have also, you know, stepped up to defend some of the work of the department of justice. it s not as ted lieu said, not a two-tiered system. i think we have to be really realistic about what some on that committee seem to be calling for because it s completely antithetical to the position of many people, you ....
