Adam Schiff: “The Marshals Service primary role and mission is to provide…”

“As you know, the Marshals Service Corps mission is enshrined in law, and it is clear and unambiguous. The law states that The Marshals Service primary role and mission is to provide for the security of federal judges and to, quote, obey, execute and enforce all orders. That is orders of the federal courts, even those that the President may disagree with. At the same time, the US Marshals operates within the Justice Department under the authority and direction of the Attorney General.” (00:12–00:22)
