                    A FAILURE OF OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, the revelations of the last few days have 
been, at best, an injustice and, at worst, government corruption of the 
highest degree.
  Earlier this week, FBI Director James Comey acknowledged that former 
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent or received 110 emails that 
contained classified information through her unsecured server. He went 
as far as to say that Secretary Clinton's actions were ``extremely 
careless.'' Despite the FBI Director's harsh criticism of Secretary 
Clinton's ability or inability to protect highly sensitive material, it 
appears she will walk away without punishment.
  In an era where cybersecurity has become one of the most important 
pillars of U.S. national security, this carelessness is totally 
unacceptable. What is even more unacceptable is that the Nation's top 
prosecutor met with Secretary Clinton's husband, former President Bill 
Clinton, in private 1 week before the Justice Department decided not to 
press charges.
  Mr. Speaker, it is possible Secretary Clinton threatened the security 
of this great country. There are those who have committed far lesser 
crimes who have faced far harsher consequences. The Attorney General's 
decision not to prosecute Secretary Clinton is a failure of our justice 
system.
  In God we trust.
