I feel as though our system has opened a door they cannot close. Policy of this type allowing and upholding , has made it easy for such crimes to be committed i...n manners which remind me of barbarism.

The central issue is the perception, rooted in reality, of a two tiered justice system - a different set of rules for some like Secretary of State Clinton.
It frankly should not matter whether you are running for president or running late to a kid's ball game. The same rules should to apply to everyone.

For eight years, the Obama Administration has brought us one thing in response to the nation’s need for recovery from hard times —failure — by abusing regulations to force its will on the American people.
But it is a new day in America. The incoming Administration promises a new approach to make America great again. The Regulatory Accountability Act will give this new Administration the tools.
The regulations coming out of the executive branch are out of control. With a unified Republican government, we've already started working on bills to reign in the overreach and relieve the burden caused by unnecessary regulations.
The House passed 2 bills last week and is set to pass a package of 6 bills tomorrow - all aimed at easing the regulatory burden on workers, families, and small businesses across the country.

✅ #BREAKING: The House just passed the Regulations From the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act.
Over $150 billion was added in regulations by the Obama Administration last year alone, and that huge burden takes a toll on the American economy. Now, the American people have a say by letting Congress put a check on the overreaching executive branch.

ICYMI: The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Wednesday giving Congress the power to kill dozens of recently enacted rules in one fell swoop.
✅ #BREAKING: Today the House passed the Midnight Rules Relief Act to give the American people a way to stop the burdensome regulations proposed by outgoing presidents - like the $6 billion in new regulations proposed by the Obama Administration that would crush the economy.
We mentioned yesterday we were hitting the ground running to stop excessive regulations by the executive. Today, Congressman Bob Goodlatte announced a comprehensive plan to do just that.
The Regulatory Accountability Act is a major step to reverse the negative effects regulations are having on our economy. Read more about it here

From Chairman Goodlatte and everyone at the House Judiciary Committee, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
President Obama is using his last months in office to issue crushing regulations that could hurt the economy for years to come.
House Republicans will continue to fight these last minute regulations and ensure the American people are protected from an agenda the country rejected in November.
Encryption is inexorably tied to our national interests. It is a safeguard for our personal secrets and economic prosperity. It helps to prevent crime and protect national security.
The potential consequences of inaction—or overreaction—are too important to allow historical or ideological perspectives to stand in the way of progress.
The Obama Administration's immigration policies have been a complete failure. We must secure the border and enforce current laws to stop this surge in illegal immigration.
More than 15,000 illegal immigrants traveling as families were nabbed at the U.S.-Mexico border in November — a massive increase that marks the worst November on record, and the second-worst overall, according to new statistics released Thursday by Homeland Security.
