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.
“RELEASE OF SECOND DAY OF JAMES BAKER TRANSCRIPT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E443-E444 on April 10, 2019.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

RELEASE OF SECOND DAY OF JAMES BAKER TRANSCRIPT
______
HON. DOUG COLLINS
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 10, 2019
Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I have released several transcripts of interviews from the Judiciary Committee's investigation into the apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and Justice Department. Today, I am releasing another.
The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what transpired in the highest levels of the FBI at the origin of the probe of President Trump's campaign.
Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the link, www.dougcollins.house.gov/jamesbaker, so the American people can review the transcript of day two of James Baker's interview.
Out of an abundance of caution, this transcript has a limited number of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources and methods, non-public information about ongoing investigations, and non-material personal information.
I will continue to work to release as many transcripts as possible. The American people deserve the truth
