Raskin: President Trump begrudgingly left Washington under a cloud of bear mace and tear gas.

Schiff [Border Hearing]: Immigrants add immeasurable to our economic output. Without them, we have no food, no one to take care of us when a pandemic threatens our lives, no one to support our seniors on social security and medicare. No future growth, No future.

John Sopko [Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction]: As I sit here today, I can not assure this committee, or the American taxpayer, that we are not currently funding the Taliban. Nor can I assure you that the Taliban are not diverting the money we are sending from the intended recipients, which are the poor Afghan people.

Sopko: We need you help to stop this obfuscation and delay by the Department of State, and to some extent, USAID.

[State Department and USAID are full of CIA; CIA fronts]

Sopko: The second problem is we have to rely on international trust funds like the UN. We have identified…over the last twelve years, that these trust funds, the UN, World Bank, etc, do very little oversight, and are very skimpy on giving information about it.

Grothman: Could you just rattle off one more time the international organizations that this body, and the press corp, should know cannot really be trusted with taxpayer dollars?

Sopko: Mainly, it is a number of UN organizations we've identified in the past. You also have the World Food Program. You have something called the Colombo Plan, which the State Department specifically ordered not to talk to us when we're doing an audit of on their programs…I think the World Bank is also involved.

Sopko: I haven't seen a starving Taliban fighter on TV…I see a lot of starving Afghan children on TV, so I'm wondering where all this funding is going.

Hageman: The fact is that Joe Biden is the largest human trafficker in US history.

Nadler trying to add an amendment to HR 2640 that would remove requirement of all employers to use E-Verify.

Higgins: We had identified the bomber. Our intel guys did their work. The Biden administration would not authorize the shooting nor the arrest of the bomber that killed these thirteen Americans, and a hundred and seventy of our Afghan allies, wounded and maimed many, many other. Why? Why? Why?

Sopko: I don't know who was telling the administration there was three hundred thousand Afghan police toward the end. Nobody we talked to ever said that number was near there. We had reports that half of those people were probably ghosts. We were paying their salaries, but they didn't exist.

Democrats [Nadler and Lofgren] have both attempted amendments to keep E-Verify out of HR 2640. Massie is also against it, but only because it creates another federal approval list.

Donalds: There is obstruction coming out of the State Department and USAID. This administration has unilaterally stopped your ability to get the information that congress has authorized you to collect. Is that correct?

Sopko: That is correct.

Jean-Pierre: Speaker McCarthy is engaging in dangerous economic hostage taking.

Jean-Pierre says the radical militants the were expelled, then reinstated in the Tennessee House, will be visiting Biden on Monday.
