00:00Quote, if you come for law enforcement, the Trump administration will come for you.
00:04End quote.
00:05I want to show you just a brief video.
00:07It's about 30 seconds and I'll ask you a couple of questions about it.
00:10You guys are disgusting, man.
00:12You guys are disgusting.
00:14I'm from law enforcement.
00:16You're disgusting.
00:17You are the Nazi.
00:18You are the Gestapo.
00:19You can't see it because you're chasing your pension, right?
00:21Pension.
00:22You're retirement, right?
00:23That's what runs your life.
00:24You're retirement.
00:25The sad thing is they're not even going to get their pension because it's going to be
00:28more close.
00:28Hey, save on you.
00:31Save on you.
00:32Save on you.
00:33Get him.
00:34Get him.
00:35Kill him.
00:37Kill him.
00:39Kill him.
00:40Kill him.
00:41Kill him.
00:42Kill him.
00:46Attorney General Bondi, that man works for you now, right?
00:53Who was that, congressman?
00:55The man in that video, the one who was in the police-worn body cam footage, the one allegedly
01:01yelling, kill him, at police officers on January 6th, his name is Jared Wise.
01:07He does work for us.
01:08He works for you at the Department of Justice.
01:10He does.
01:11This is an individual whom a federal grand jury indicted for two felonies and four misdemeanors
01:18related to his participation in the attack on January 6th.
01:22One of those charges was forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating,
01:26and interfering with police with the intent to commit another felony.
01:31This is who you choose, as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America, to hire
01:38at the Department of Justice someone on video yelling, kill him, at police officers, right?
01:47I believe he was pardoned by President Trump.
01:49Oh, he was pardoned.
01:50You're right.
01:51You're right.
01:52He was pardoned by President Trump for his offense, pardoned for yelling, kill him, at
01:59police officers, and yet you expect hardworking police officers across the country to believe
02:05that you take law enforcement seriously.
02:08You could imagine the reaction of so many folks across the country hearing the chief law
02:16enforcement officer of the United States refuse to even condemn what that individual whom
02:23you've now hired did.
02:26But in any event, let's talk a little bit about some of the other divisions within the Department
02:30of Justice and what's happened over the last year.
02:33You're familiar with the public integrity section of the DOJ's criminal division.
02:36I think it's referred to as PIN.
02:38Is that right?
02:39Yes.
02:40Okay.
02:40Do you know which presidential administration under which the PIN was first created?
02:45I can tell you what administration that the weaponization was ended under.
02:50I'll reclaim my time.
02:51This wasn't a trick question, Madam Attorney General.
02:52You don't get to reclaim your time.
02:53Madam Attorney General.
02:54Because I don't like it.
02:55Mr. Chairman, will you explain the witness that he does reclaim his time?
02:58Because I don't answer a question to your satisfaction?
03:01Mr. Chairman.
03:02Madam Attorney General, the time belongs to the gentleman from Colorado.
03:06The president under which PIN was created was Gerald Ford.
03:09It was created after Watergate.
03:11I'm not asking a question, Madam Attorney General.
03:13The administration under which it was created was Gerald Ford.
03:15When you first started as the Attorney General of the United States, there were 35 people working in that office.
03:20There are now two people working in that office because you have gutted it.
03:23How many people work for the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team in the criminal division today?
03:31Can I answer the question about PIN?
03:34I've asked you a question.
03:35How many people work for the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team?
03:40You won't answer how many people?
03:42I'll answer PIN.
03:45PIN will not be weaponized.
03:47Actually, you know what?
03:47What's funny about this?
03:48I'll say to the chairman.
03:49What's funny about this?
03:50Mr. Chairman, you know what the answer is?
03:52And I think I understand why the Attorney General does not want to answer the question.
03:55Because you eliminated the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team last year.
03:58So I understand why you don't want to tell the American people who works there.
04:01Yeah, I understand why you don't want to talk about Mohammed Solomon in your district who murdered people.
04:06Mr. Chairman, will you stop the clock so his time is not wasted by the witness?
04:09I've been very generous with allowing extra time when we have these little disputes.
04:13I understand.
04:14You've got the time.
04:15I might as well ask the chairman these questions.
04:18I'd be happy to answer some of your questions.
04:20What's profound, the questions I've asked, Mr. Chairman, are not trick questions.
04:28They're not gotcha questions.
04:30They're actually basic questions about how the Department of Justice functions.
04:34And the unwillingness of this Attorney General to answer them in good faith.
04:39When a member of Congress asks how many people work at the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team
04:44and the Attorney General refuses to answer it, it is not a coincidence.
04:50It's because she eliminated the team.
04:52Why?
04:53Because her boss, the President of the United States, is making money hand over fist,
04:59$1.4 billion over the course of the last year through cryptocurrency holdings.
05:04I think what is happening at the Department of Justice is a disgrace, Mr. Chairman.
05:09And I would urge you to gain control of this hearing.
05:14With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
05:16Yeah.
05:16I would ask the gentleman, does he agree with the standing up of the Deputy Attorney General
05:23for dealing with fraud?
05:24That's something that's happened in this administration, first time.
05:27You talked about Penn.
05:29That happened with this Justice Department.
05:31We're talking about this committee.
05:32Mr. Chairman, had you answered the question, had the Attorney General answered the question
05:36in that way, perhaps this hearing would have some modicum of resembling something that
05:42has typically been fairly conventional, an oversight hearing of the Department of Justice.
05:46The gentleman's time has expired.
05:48The gentlelady from Wyoming.
