Rep. Jamie Raskin tells AG Pam Bondi during her House committee testimony that she is failing to follow the committee's rules. He explains that members get only five minutes and may reclaim their time when a witness goes off on tangents, like reading statistics or talking about his district instead of answering. "I want the whole country to look at this," he says.

You have to be quiet. You have no choice. You have to be quiet. I want the whole country to look at this because this is the Attorney General of the United States whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. We have only five minutes and so we use our time to ask you specific questions. How long are you giving me the answer? Excuse me. I'm not yielding to you right now. I'd like that second restored to so miss Bondi The way it works is we ask you a question and you answer it And if you go off on a wild goose chase another tangent you start reading statistics Or you start talking about stuff going on our district and by the way, I invite you to my district come to my district But that's not what we're here to do today Okay, so and you do that then we're allowed to say we reclaim our time at that point You have to be quiet.
