On December 15, 1791, the #BillOfRights was ratified. It is my hope that the U.S. will continue to be a place where our foundational principles guide our government. #BillOfRightsDay
Yesterday I signed the Conference Report for the final Farm Bill of my term in office. It has been a privilege to represent #VA06 farmers and to work on a Farm Bill that meets the needs of rural America.
On December 7, 1941 the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked. 2,403 service members and civilians lost their lives. Today, and every day, we remember the bravery of all those who have defended this country’s freedoms.
It appears Mr. Comey believes he deserves special treatment, as he is the only witness refusing to either appear voluntarily or comply with a subpoena. He needs to appear before the Committees, as all other witnesses have done. Let the facts come to light.
It saddens me to recognize Capt. Andrew Ross, one of our U.S. Army casualties who grew up in Lexington, Virginia. My heartfelt condolences go out to his friends and family, may they be comforted knowing we hold fast to the example of Drew’s noble service.
I have just offered to Director Comey that the Committees will publicly release the transcript of his testimony following the interview for our investigation. This ensures both transparency and access for the American people to all the facts.
Mr. Comey should agree to these terms and see that we have the same purpose, which is to find the truth and seek transparency. In order to do so, he must appear before the Committees and answer our questions.
@repgoodlatte "The end goal is simple [ensure] the FBI never interferes in a federal election the way they interfered with this one. Both Democrats, Republicans, and Independents too should be concerned about how this matter was conducted by Mr. Comey" bit.ly/2RjXvZ0
