Babin Leads Effort to Bring Accountability to Special Counsel
|
I'm asking my colleagues to join me in demanding a public congressional hearing to bring Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team out of the shadows. The Special Counsel and his appointed lawyers are arguably just as empowered—if not more so—than any U.S. Attorney, yet they are allowed to operate largely in secret, with each lawyer selected by and ultimately accountable to only Mr. Mueller himself. Serious questions have been raised about the many conflicts of interest and past political involvement by members of the investigation team he assembled. The American people deserve to know why these conflicted investigators are the best team he could come up with. My letter would not authorize questions about the details of the investigation, only questions about the biases and conflicts of team members with that have been appointed by Mr. Mueller.

Honoring the Family of Fallen Hero Chief Deputy Clint Greenwood
|
It was a great privilege to attend the unveiling ceremony of the newly named Clinton F. Greenwood Courthouse Annex 8 in Baytown, Texas. At the event, I was honored to present Clint Greenwood’s wife, Leatha, with an American flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol Building. Last April, Chief Deputy Clint Greenwood was ambushed and killed while arriving at work at this very courthouse. Its new name will serve as an important and lasting tribute to Chief Deputy Greenwood and his family.
