00:00and is recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and to my colleagues across the aisle, this is about
00:05the quality of the evidence. Surely everyone recognizes that the Oversight Committee is a
00:12body of authority of Congress that has a responsibility to hold the executive branch
00:19accountable. So in the process of our committee work on the Oversight Committee, we seek
00:29intelligence and data from the executive committee all the time. Sometimes it's voluntary,
00:35sometimes it requires a subpoena. In this case, we had to use subpoena authority, which we did.
00:40That's a process that we went through. They provided us a description of the evidence.
00:46A transcript is not an audio file, it's a description of an audio file.
00:52If you have a crime committed in evidence, you're not going to look at a picture of a knife or a
00:57description of a bloody shoe or a glove. You need the knife or the shoe or the glove.
01:03We can provide our own description. We don't know if the transcript is accurate or not
01:08because we don't have the audio file. There's zero value to a transcript in a process like this
01:17without the original quality evidence. And my attorney friends over there know this.
01:23So as an investigator, I say it's quite simple.
01:26Give us the original evidence. What do you have to hide?
01:30Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield.
01:32Gentleman yields. Gentleman from Massachusetts.
01:34I reserve, Mr. Speaker.
01:35Gentleman reserves. Gentleman from Florida.
01:36I reserve.
01:38Gentleman reserves. Gentleman from Massachusetts.
01:43Are we having more speakers?
01:45How many speakers does he have, Speaker?
01:47We don't. I don't see anybody here.
01:51But we may. They may come down.
01:53Gentleman from Florida.
01:54Speaker, how many minutes?
