‘I’ve never seen this border more out of control’
Body
This is a solemn occasion. Probably the most serious obligation we have in this committee, on this committee. The last time a cabinet member was impeached was during the administration of Ulysses S. Grant many years ago. In my experience as a deputy attorney general for criminal justice, [for the] state of Texas, as a federal prosecutor charged with counter-terrorism and national security, and former chairman of this very committee — I’ve never seen this border more out of control.
