chair recognizes the gentleman from ohio mr. jordan thank mr. chair mr.
Rosenstein why are you keeping information from congress person i'm not
keeping any information from Congress that it's approved a few minutes mr.
Rosen Stein think the House of Representative is going to say something
different I don't agree with you congressman I don't believe that's what
they're going to say and if they do they'll might disagree but I think we
might think in a few minutes the House of Representatives is going to go on
record saying you haven't complied with requests from a separate and equal
branch of government that you haven't complied with subpoenas and you got
seven days to get your act together I think that's what's going to happen in a
few and that's just that's not Jim Jordan I think that's the hell I think
at some majority House of Representatives in just a few minutes I
think that's going to happen and I wonder why you won't give us what we've
asked for sir I certainly hope that your colleagues are not under that impression
that is not accurate sir it is accurate we have caught you hiding such an answer
mr. chairman point of order we can go to mr. Jordans press conference and listen
to him but we came here to hear from the witness that time belongs to the
gentleman Rosenstein Rolanda answer we have caught you hide allow answer he
will be permitted mortgagor to answer why are the gentleman's out of order the
gentleman from Ohio is recognized rise let me make this one make this one point
answer where we've clients hiding information you can answer why did you
hide the fact that Peter struck and judge Contreras were friends why did you
redact that in the documents you gave to us Peters I mean judge contrast kind of
important FISA Court judge more importantly just as importantly the
judgment that heard Mike Flynn's case why did you try to hide that from us
mr. Jordan I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to respond I've heard
you make those sort of allegations publicly on TV it's I got them and if
you have a response mr. chairman he should be have the opportunity Lister
Jordan it's per day I am the deputy turned general United States okay I'm
not the person doing the redacted I'm responsible for responding to your
concerns as I have I have a team with me sir it's just a fraction of the team
that's doing this work and whenever you brought issues to my attention I have
taken appropriate steps to remedy them so your statement that I'm personally
keeping information from you trying to conceal information here at
the boss mr. roses time that's correct and my job is to make sure that we
respond to your concerns we have sir now I've appointed mr. louse who is managing
that production my understanding is it's actually going very well sir
so I appreciate your concerns yeah and I think that helps the representatives
gonna say otherwise but your use of this to attack me provided you to a son wrong
point of order mr. chairman made the witness be permitted inaudible it's not
personal his job will suspend the witness is gonna have an opportunity to
say whatever he wants at the end of mr. Jordans five minutes until the it is not
his time I appreciate your service it's not personal we just want the
information why did you tell Peter struck not to enter our questions
yesterday when I asked when I asked Peter struck if he'd ever communicated
with Glenn Simpson he gave us the answer he gave us dozens of times on advice of
FBI counsel I can't answer that question why couldn't you answer that question
mr. oh and I appreciate your sincere concerns but I didn't get Peter to
struck any instructions if there was some problem with the instructions he
had I'll be happy to little but not what is left lawyer said mr. Jordan when you
find some problem with a production or with questions it doesn't mean that I'm
personally trying to conceal something from you that means we're running an
organization that's trying to follow the rules and we're gonna resell it's
interesting when I asked him if he'd ever talked to Bruce or he said he had
said he had three times in 2016 or 2017 then I asked him have you ever talked to
Nelly or and he said no I have it I said well why can you answer that question
because Nelly or worked for Glenn Simpson worked for fusion he could
answer that question but he couldn't answer because FBI counsel told him he
couldn't he couldn't answer the question whether it ever communicated with Glenn
Simpson a journalist why couldn't answer that question sir and I appreciate your
saying isn't personal sometimes it feels that way how do I know sir I mean not
you interviewed mr. struck I didn't so I can't for you then work for us
there are a hundred and fifteen thousand people who work for me sir mr. Rosen
Stein did you threaten staffers on the House Intelligence
Committee media reports indicate you did media reports are mistaken sometimes but
this is what they said having the nation's number-one law enforcement
officer threatened to subpoena your calls and emails is downright chilling
did you threaten to subpoena their calls and
males no sir and there's no way to subpoena phone calls well I mean I'm
just saying I'm reading what the press said I mean I would suggest that you not
rely on what the Press says sir well I didn't ask if there's no way to do it
asked if you said it I said what what I just read you I did not well now how are
we supposed to believe staff members who we've worked with who've never missed
lettuce or you guys who we've caught hiding information from us who tell a
witness not to answer our questions who are we supposed to believe thank you for
making it clear it's not personal mr. Jordan I didn't I'm saying the
Department of Justice I'm telling the truth
and I'm under oath if you want to put somebody else under oath and they have
it something different no these staff members bond here's here's my last
question what's so important that you know that you don't want us to know that
you won't give us the documents we're asking for that the House of
Representatives is about ready to go on record saying you should give us what's
so darn important that you will threaten members least according to medium ports
and quarterly the staff members threat members incur it mr. chairman what is so
important mr. Rosen Stein elementary and great mr. chairman this is not an
appropriate time for a parliamentary inquiry and point of order the gentleman
keeps representing that the House of Representatives yes it will be the
Republicans who continue Dada that is not an appropriate point of
order well people need to be correct in this time the time of the gentleman the
Republican majority gentleman will suspend
the time of the gentleman from Ohio will be restored for an additional 15 seconds
and then the Deputy Attorney General be relied to respond Thank You mr. chair
mr. Ross mr. ray I do appreciate work but I'd also appreciate if the House of
Representatives could get the information we have repeatedly
mr. Gowdy talked about how long this investigation is going on how long
there's been a special counsel we started asking for information in July
of last year and some of that is still not given and still has not been given
to the Congress still not has been given to this committee to the committee
charged with defending that the Judiciary Committee so I appreciate what
you do I just want the information and we're so frustrated that there is now a
resolution on the floor of the house in just a few minutes that will be voted on
yeah I mean the gentleman has expired sir Rosenstein will be allowed to
respond I don't have any control over what resolutions you vote on sir
I know you don't do that the gentleman will suspend that if now is the
attorney-general's if you're interested in the truth mr. Jordan the truth is we
have a team of folks there Trump appointees and career folks and they're
doing their best to produce these documents directory explain to you the
process he's got hundreds of people working around the clock trying to
satisfy these requests so whether you vote or not is not going to affect it
you're going to get everything that's relevant that we can find it produced to
you I support this report sir I'm not trying to hide anything from you mr.
Rosen Stein why are you keeping information from Congress I'm not
keeping any information from Congress that it's approved a few minutes mr.
