STEVENS. I THINK THAT IS FAIR. AND WE'LL TAKE THAT -- >> GENTLEMAN YIELD? >> SURE. >> THANK YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU'VE MADE SEVERAL INACCURATE STATEMENTS OVER THE PAST MONTHS AS YOU'VE TRIED TO DEFEND AGAINST MULTIPLE REPUBLICAN ADMISSIONS THAT THE SELECT COMMITTEE HAS BEEN WASTING MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS TO DAMAGE SECRETARY CLINTON'S BID FOR PRESIDENT. ON SUNDAY, YOU MADE ANOTHER INACCURATE STATEMENT DURING YOUR APPEARANCE ON "FACE THE NATION" AND IT'S BEING TAKEN UP HERE. HERE'S WHO YOU SAID, I QUOTE. THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS WHO MAY HAVE EQUITIES IN HER E-MAILS. AND THERE MAY BE OTHER ENTITIES WHO ARE EVALUATING HER E-MAILS. BUT MY INTEREST, MY INTEREST IN THEM IS SOLELY MAKING SURE THAT I GET EVERYTHING I'M ENTITLED TO. SO I CAN DO MY JOB. THE REST OF IT, CLASSIFICATION, CLINTON FOUNDATION, YOU NAME IT, I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN IT. WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ME SEND A SUBPOENA RELATED TO IT OR INTERVIEW A SINGLE PERSON OTHER THAN BRIAN FAVIANO BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW THE RECORD IS COMPLETE. I'M GOING BACK TO TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. >> I'M WAITING -- >> LET ME FINISH -- >> I'VE BEEN VERY PATIENT -- >> JUST WAIT -- >> I'M WAITING ON THE INACCURATE STATEMENT. >> I'M GETTING THERE -- >> WELL, WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK. >> WELL, IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE LONG. YOU TOOK UP FOUR MINUTES -- >> I'VE LET EVERYBODY GO OVER, INCLUDING YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU ISSUED A SUBPOENA TO BLUMENTHAL ON MAY 19, 2015, COMPELLING HIM TO APPEAR FOR A DEPOSITION ON JUNE 16th, 2015. YOU ISSUED THAT SUBPOENA UNILATERALLY WITHOUT GIVING THE SELECT COMMITTEE MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEBATE OR VOTE ON IT. YOU SENT TWO ARMED MARSHALS TO SERVE THE SUBPOENA ON MR. BLUMENTHAL'S WIFE AT THEIR HOME WITHOUT EVER SENT HIM A REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE VOLUNTARILY, WHICH HE WOULD HAVE DONE. THEN MR. CHAIRMAN YOU PERSONALLY ATTENDED MR. BLUMENTHAL'S DEPOSITION. YOU PERSONALLY ASKED HIM ABOUT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION. AND YOU PERSONALLY DIRECTED YOUR STAFF TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT CLINTON, THE CLINTON FOUNDATION, WHICH THEY DID MORE THAN 50 TIMES. NOW, THESE FACTS DIRECTLY CONTRADICT THE STATEMENTS YOU MADE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION -- >> NO, SIR, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THEY DO NOT. WE JUST HEARD E-MAIL AFTER E-MAIL AFTER E-MAIL ABOUT LIBYA AND BENGHAZI THAT SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL SENT TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE. I DON'T CARE IF HE SENT IT BY MORS CODE, CARRIER PIGEON, SMOKE SIGNALS. THE FACT HE HAPPENED TO SEND IT BY E-MAIL IS IRRELEVANT. WHAT IS RELEVANT IS HE WAS SENDING INFORMATION TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE. THAT IS WHAT'S RELEVANT. WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBPOENA, IF HE'D BOTHERED TO ANSWER THE TELEPHONE CALLS OF OUR COMMITTEE, HE WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED A SUBPOENA. >> WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD? >> I'D BE HAPPY TO BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE RECORD IS CORRECT, MR. CUMMINGS. >> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO. >> GO AHEAD. >> LET ME TELL YOU. I MOVE THAT WE PUT INTO THE RECORD THE ENTIRE TRANSCRIPT OF SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL. THAT WAY THE WORLD CAN SEE IT. >> I SECOND THAT MOTION. >> WE DIDN'T -- >> MOTION HAD BEEN SECONDED. >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT UP AT A HEARING -- >> -- AND THEY HAVE INFORMED US WE HAVE A RIGHT TO RECORD A VOTE ON THAT MOTION. >> WELL, LET'S GO THROUGH THAT. >> -- THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE. LET THE WORLD SEE IT. >> WHY IS IT YOU ONLY WANT BLUMENTHAL'S TRANSCRIPT RELEASED? >> I'D LIKE ALL OF THEM RELEASED. >> THE SURVIVORS, EVEN THEIR NAMES? YOU WANT THAT RELEASED? >> NO, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING -- >> THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE ASKED FOR IS BLUMENTHAL. >> SHERYL MILLS. >> THAT'S NOT TRUE. >> THAT'S 2 OUT OF 54. >> ASK FOR A RECORDED VOTE ON THE BLUMENTHAL -- YOU SAID FROM THE BEGINNING WE WANT THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. WHY DON'T WE JUST PUT THE ENTIRE TRANSCRIPT OUT THERE AND LET THE WORLD SEE IT? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE? >> HIS ARE THE ONLY E-MAILS YOU HAVE RELEASED. IN FAIRNESS TO BLUMENTHAL AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE INTEREST OF A COMPLETE RECORD IF YOU'RE GOING TO RELEASE HIS E-MAILS, RELEASE HIS TRANSCRIPT WHERE HE HAD A CHANCE TO GIVE THE CONTEXT OF THOSE E-MAILINGS. >> YOU KEEP REFERRING TO BLUMENTHAL E-MAILS. I WOULD HASTEN TON REMIND BOTH OF YOU THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE BLUMENTHAL E-MAILS IS BECAUSE HE E-MAILLED THE SECRETARY OF STATE. THEY'RE NOT BLUMENTHAL'S E-MAILS. AND SHE WANTED ALL OF HER E-MAILS RELEASED. SHE'S BEEN SAYING SINCE MARCH. I WANT THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE MY E-MAILS. WELL, BLUMENTHAL'S E-MAILS ARE PARENT OF THAT. HERE'S WHAT I'LL DO. I'LL BE HAPPY TO TALK TO THE PARLIAMENTARIAN. TOLD ME YOUR MOTION ACTUALLY WOULD NOT BE IN ORDER FOR A HEARING. BUT AT THE LATEST, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE AND THE FIRST WEEK WE ARE BACK AFTER THIS WEEK, WE'LL HAVE A BUSINESS MEETING. WE CAN TAKE UP MR. BLUMENTHAL'S TRANSCRIPT. WE CAN TAKE UP WHATEVER OTHER TRANSCRIPTS. ALSO THE 20 SOME-ODD OUTSTANDING DEPUTY DISCOVERY REQUESTS. >> IN THE INTEREST OF NOT HAVING -- >> THAT'S YOUR OPINION -- >> WELL, IF YOU DISAGREE, THEN RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPTS. >> WHAT ALLEGATION? >> WHY CONCEAL THE TRANSCRIPTS? EVEN IF THE MOTION WERE NOT IN ORDER. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO RELEASE THEM. >> BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO RELEASE ONE TRANSCRIPT OF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT LIBYA BY HIS OWN ADMISSION. WHILE PEOPLE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES, YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN THEIR STORY GETTING OUT. YOU DON'T WANT THE 18 DS AGENTS. YOU DON'T WANT THE CIA AGENTS. THE ONLY TRANSCRIPTS YOU WANT RELEASED ARE MISS MILLS AND BLUMENTHAL'S. WE'LL TAKE ALL OF THIS UP IN NOVEMBER -- >> THE ONLY PERSON YOU WERE INTERESTED IN DURING YOUR ENTIRE QUESTIONING IS BLUMENTHAL. IF YOU'RE SO INTERESTED IN HIM, RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPT. YOU SELECTIVELY RELEASED THE E-MAILS. THEY'RE THE ONLY WITNESS YOU'VE DONE THAT FOR. YOU'RE ASKING WHY ARE WE ONLY ASKING FOR HIS TRANSCRIPT -- >> I'M GOING TO ASK THE GENTLEMAN OF CALIFORNIA TO PLEASE DO A BETTER JOB OF CHARACTERIZING. THESE ARE NOT BLUMENTHAL'S E-MAILS. THESE ARE CLINTON HE'S
