Back i could only respond through that email. But what i meant to say is we couldnt find out who was sending it. It was obvious that they were english speaking, however, because, you know, of the commander language. Was there specifics about a ransom number or conditions . When they initially reached out to us, yes. It was ridiculous. Like they wanted 100 million euro or all muslim prisoners kind of thing. And you know, fbi, you know, of course we right away sent tight the fbi and they just said keep them talking, keep them talking. But within a few emails when they realized they were just talking to the family, they had absolutely no interest. And so they cut off discussions until the only other time, sir, was when the french came out in march of 2014, they came out with another very specific offer to negotiate for all americans and all of the british. And your primary source of contact in the United States was the fbi . We had no primary source. I did have one we had one fbi agent wh
Federal prisons. Thats live tuesday at 10 00 eastern here on c span 3. Millennials and their role in todays economy was the topic of a republican policy meeting on capitol hill. The task force is chaired by Elise Stefanik who at the age of 31 is the youngest member of congress. This is about an hour and 15 minutes. The House Republican policy meeting task force on millennials will now come to order. The committee is meeting today to discuss the essential role of mill epials in todays economy.

And we all understand together that we have to be united in standing up to these terrorist thugs threatening our waive rife and ultimately douefeating them. I will recognize myself for an opening statement. I want to thank everyone for com
I think that the court has upheld such broad delegations that principle is simple a term it invokes. It doesnt have meaningful bite. Where i think the courts do Police Delegation is in terms of how they read statutes. In terms of whether or not its sub constitutional. Its statutory interpretation and Administrative Law when they subject something to more search and e review and require reasoned explanation thats in part to make up for the lack of the congressional delegation. And thats where i think the courts should play a role because thats where the most effective. Im very sympathetic to your vision of the collective congress as a matter of policy, but i heard you to be making not just a policy argument, but also an argument from constitutional structure. And i wonder what do you make of the fact that the constitution isnt more clear about this and that it does speak about the speaker of the house and the president of the senate. And it does speak of officers of these houses and giv
The Justice Department statistics show that nationally only 16 of state prisoners are in for drug crimes and less than 4 are there for drug possession. And yet, our very president is going around stating an untruth. That is because this is an administration i think that is ruled by an ideology that claims that Law Enforcement is somehow racist. And that, as you say, is a disservice to officers of all colors who are there to help the good people in the community. Mr. Mccarthy, you rightly observed that the title this hearing, the war on police, is directed more broadly than just the department of justice. But it is rather what i see as a pervasive, to use a term of art, pattern and practice across the federal government and this administration, and indeed, i think no one bears more direct responsibility than the president. As ms. Macdonald just noted, president obama has directly tried to attack his own fbi director for observing that Violent Crime and homicides are increasing. We saw a
