The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H351 on Feb. 14, 2000.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, when the Justice Department is accused of a crime, the Justice Department investigates the Justice Department. Think about it. Eighty Americans were killed at Waco Texas; the Justice Department investigated themselves. Eighteen of those killed at Waco were children, literally burned to death. The Justice Department investigated themselves. Unbelievable. Peers investigating peers; buddies investigating buddies. Who is kidding whom, Madam Speaker?
If the Justice Department was not guilty at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, when Vickie Weaver was shot right between the eyes, why did the Justice Department pay Randy Weaver $5 million?
Beam me up. Congress should cosponsor H.R. 2201.
Madam Speaker, I yield back all the exonerating investigations, self-
investigations, at the Justice Department.
