So we are really delighted to have the opportunity to welcome each and every one of you and particularly pleased to welcome dr. Patrick conway. I thought before professor introducing dr.

We will take you live to the Brookings Institution to hear who willgal advisor talk about Critical Issues of International Law leading International Law relating to cyber security. Live coverage getting underway here on cspan. Good morning. Moreis going to be edifying and a more settled event here at brookings in comparison to the one we had yesterday. I see a couple of heads nodding around here. We were honored by having the president of turkey here and not so honored by having some very vigoro...

I think that in and of itself is problematic. I think in 20122013 the position of our country, our administration, and our defense department, as well as our allies was to remove assad and i think it is still our position to remove assad. I think it is clear the position of the russians is to keep him in power. My concern is creating a voice in the region and i dont know what the answer is today. But we will look at it over the next weeks and months. Prior to president peutins airstrikes he went...

Suggest a certain amount of effort on the part of the russians a number of folks trains is so small finding them in the country the size of syria strikes me as not, as i might have said in my earlier career, by accident. Im prepared to say and ive said this earlier, the russians are not in syria to defeat isis. That is a fundamentally false narrative.

Service us. Well drive into the white house and disrupt a major investigation. We dont access a congressman secrets record. We dont do that.

I think we have got to restore this priceless commodity you were talking about which is the integrity element of the men and women at every level knowing it ibilityr respons to maintain the inte...

Mr. Railsback . Chairman, thank you, and members of the committee by saying that you, mr. Chairman, i think in a rather difficult assignment with you because you know on many occasions i think you have handled yourself very well. And i think i can say for the most members of the committee that during these six months through the 38 volumes of evidence, the listening to the live witnesses morning, afternoon and night that i can be proud of my judiciary colleagues, most of them. I feel badly as Ch...

Problem. How do you respond to that sentence . Ill start with mr. Horowitz. I can only speak from experience and what ive heard from other igs, which is we have faced road blocks in several of our reviews, untimely access. Where we have gotten it, it has taken a fair amount of time. I think the other igs have had their experiences. I know from conversations with fellow igs, while they havent had lawyers come forward and say we cant legally give it to you, theyve had issues with getting materials...

Has in fact either authorized the bake in or personal the cover up. We were persuaded beyond a convincing case that he should stand trial in the political sense of having to have a trial in the senate but nobody felt great about it. Most people get burdened.
