And the attorney general here today has indicated that that

is definitely the approach that they take. And we want the

facts, as well. There are those of us who believe that there

was wrongdoing and that there should be accountability.

We just don't think that we should prejudge the

circumstances before all of the facts get out, despite the

approach by others. I would like to ask unanimous consent, Mr.

Chairman, to enter into the record opening Statements of the

two Department of Justice employees who were interviewed in the

course of this committee–IRS investigation.

Mr. Jordan. Without objection. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Opening Statements, you said?

Mr. Horsford.The chief of the public integrity section,

Jack Smith, and the director of the elections crimes branch.

Mr. Jordan. And what are you asking to enter?

Mr. Horsford. I am asking to enter their Statements from

their—-

Mr. Jordan. Well, is it the full transcript? We had this

debate just a little bit ago. If it is the full transcript, I

would object. If it is a Statement they—-

Mr. Horsford. It is not. However, I want to say for the

record, Mr. Chairman, the Republican Armed Services Chairman,

Buck McKeon, just released 100 percent of the transcripts from

Benghazi. So I am not clear on the standard being used by this

chair.

Mr. Jordan. We are gonna try to move on. I think I am gonna

object. I will take a look it, and I am gonna object now. We

will take a look at it afterwards.
