Mr. ISSA (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent
we dispense with the reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from California?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 568, the
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cummings) and the gentleman from
California (Mr. Issa) each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Maryland.
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume,
and I rise in support of the motion to refer this matter back to
committee.
Sixty years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States announced
that the waiver of Fifth Amendment rights is ``not lightly to be
inferred.''
That is exactly what happened when the Oversight Committee held a
party line vote finding that Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment
privilege without holding even one hearing with one legal expert.
Experts who have reviewed the record before the committee conclude
that Ms. Lerner did not waive her Fifth Amendment rights by declaring
her innocence.
Now, more than 30 independent legal experts have also come forward to
conclude that the chairman, Chairman Issa, botched the contempt
procedure when he abruptly ended our committee hearing and cut off my
microphone before any Democratic members had a chance to utter a single
syllable.
In other words, these experts say a judge will likely throw this case
out of court.
Let me be clear that I am not defending Lois Lerner's mismanagement
at the IRS; but as a Member of Congress, I have sworn, like my
colleagues, to protect every citizen's rights under the Constitution of
the United States of America, and I do not take that obligation
lightly.
I believe that it is irresponsible to move forward today without ever
having held a single hearing to hear from a single legal expert on this
constitutional question.
I asked for this hearing more than 9 months ago, but my request was
rejected, so this motion would require the Oversight Committee to do
what it should have done a long time ago.
This motion also would direct the committee to release publicly the
full transcripts from all the interviews of the IRS and Treasury
employees that our committee staff conducted during the investigation.
These 39 transcripts show that there is no evidence of any White
House involvement or any political motivation in the IRS' review of
these tax-exempt applicants.
I remind the Speaker that these 39 witnesses are witnesses that were
called by the majority. They are the ones who sat down with a
bipartisan group of employees from the majority and the minority and
went through the questioning.
Instead, these interviews show exactly how the employees in
Cincinnati first developed the inappropriate criteria. They tell the
story. They tell the story. They show how Lois Lerner failed to
discover these criteria for more than a year and that, when she learned
of them, she immediately ordered them to stop being used.
In June of last year, Chairman Issa promised on national television
that, at some point, he would release all of the transcripts. That
needs to be done sooner, rather than later; but the chairman has
repeatedly blocked my efforts to do so, even with his own redactions.
You may hear him say that he does not want to release transcripts now
because they would provide a roadmap to our questions to future
witnesses. I can understand that. I have made the same arguments myself
on many occasions.
With all due respect, he crossed that bridge a long, long, long time
ago. He has released selected excerpts from these transcripts on more
than a dozen occasions, and he has allowed reporters to come into his
committee offices to review some transcripts in their entirety.
It is time to put out the whole story, so the American people can
read the facts for themselves, instead of just cherry-picking pieces
leaked to further a political narrative.
I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the motion.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion and seek
recognition in opposition.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Jordan).
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Let me just, in response to the ranking member, it is not 39
interviews; it is 40. We just did another one yesterday, and that is
going to lead to another one because we learned information in that
interview yesterday.
The minority staff has released parts of every single one of those
depositions. We will release them all when we hear from Lois Lerner. We
want to get to the truth. That is what this resolution is all about.
Here is what we did learn yesterday. In the 40th, Richard Pilger,
from the Department of Justice said this:
In the fall of 2010, at the direction of the chief of the Public
Integrity Section, Jack Smith, I contacted Lois Lerner at the IRS.
So we know now Justice and the IRS were working together back in
2010, all the more reason why we need to hear from Lois Lerner; and the
only way to make that happen, the only way to get to the truth is
through the House of Representatives using every tool we have to compel
Ms. Lerner to come talk to us because we know the fix is in with the
Justice Department's investigation.
The fix is in. We all know that. The only route to the truth on
something as fundamental as your free speech rights--First Amendment
rights to exercise speech in a political fashion--is through the House
of Representatives.
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, can I inquire as to whether the minority is
prepared to close?
Mr. CUMMINGS. Yes, we are.
Mr. Speaker, about how much time do I have?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 25 seconds
remaining. The gentleman from California has 4 minutes remaining.
Mr. ISSA. I am prepared to close.
Mr. CUMMINGS. I am prepared to close.
Again, Mr. Speaker, there is nothing to hide. We need to release the
transcripts, and just as significantly, we need to hear from the
experts.
This is a very, very serious issue, and I think that Members of
Congress deserve to have the expertise presented before them, so that
they can make a judgment. A lot of our Members are laypersons, and I
think that it is only appropriate, under these circumstances, that they
be given this opportunity.
I would ask the Members to vote in favor of my motion.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
[[Page H3921]]
I will close in the calmest possible way that I can. For more than
3\1/2\ years, I have tried to get cooperation from the minority. For
more than 3 years, I have tried to get the cooperation of the minority,
and I haven't gotten it.
I get it on things which don't lead to the President or to a Cabinet
officer or to an administrative branch. This leads to an administrative
branch under the Secretary of the Treasury.
When the minority says that if you would just refer this back and we
just have an opinion, quite frankly, they produced these opinions. They
sought out 30 people to rubberstamp the same basic opinion again and
again, many of whom provided nothing other than we agree. I didn't say
anything about that during debate. That is their right.
The ranking member says if we will just release those 39 documents--
if he wants to destroy this investigation, he can release them. If he
wants to show a roadmap, he can release them. These are not documents
that are exclusive. They are documents that either one of us could
choose to release.
Good practice is, as we continue investigating--and the questions and
the answers from witnesses not be in their entirety released to create
a roadmap, that is practice of good counsel, and the ranking member
himself said he would have done the same thing in some cases.
We only learned, a matter of days ago, that people working in the
office of the President had withheld, until a court ordered them to
release the documents, showing that they invented, out of thin air, a
false narrative as to what happened at Benghazi and why, asserting a
video that, in fact, was not supported by the facts; and for a long
time, since September 11, 2012, we had been misled.
In an ongoing investigation, one in which they would have you believe
that Lois Lerner would have testified if she just had a week more, they
have had months to see if they could get Lois Lerner back to testify.
Of course, they can't. She never intended to testify.
This has all been a game of catch me if you can; I say I will, I say
I won't.
Our evidence, as the ranking member said, does not lead to the Oval
Office. At this point, it leads to Lois Lerner. At this point, Lois
Lerner attempted to assert the President's position as to Citizens
United, using her power to stop these 501(c)(4)'s from their free
speech.
{time} 1830
At this point, the indication is that Lois Lerner says one thing to
the Justice Department and a different thing to Congress.
So as we consider the simple issue of did she waive her rights or not
and get it, as the gentleman from Vermont suggested, before a judge,
that is all that is before us today. And the idea that we would
release, in their entirety, those thousands of pages in order to give a
road map to those yet to be deposed is wrong and inappropriate, and the
gentleman knows it or he would have released them himself, which he has
every right to do. But it would be irresponsible.
So I ask people to vote for contempt because it takes to an impartial
Federal judge that question, a question already decided by our
committee that had a vote, a question that will be voted the same way
by the ranking member no matter how many experts are listened to. Go
ahead and have the vote. Send it to a judge. Let a judge decide.
In the meantime, let's continue with the investigations as to the
IRS' targeting of conservative groups, something that has been
documented to have been inappropriate if you were conservative and not
so much if you were moderate or liberal.
We have an individual who is at the center of it all. I have never
alleged that it goes to the President. I have said that the Tea Party
would clearly and fairly be described as enemies of or adverse to the
President's policies, and I think that is pretty comfortable to
understand. And they were targeted by somebody who politics with the
President and who, quite frankly, was trying to overturn the Supreme
Court decision in Citizens United in support of the President's
position using her power.
And with that, I urge support and yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate on the motion to refer
has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 568, the previous question is ordered on
the motion to refer.
The question is on the motion to refer.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to refer will be followed by 5-
minute votes on the motion to recommit, if offered, adoption of House
Resolution 574, and adoption of House Resolution 565.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 191,
