Ratcliffe Questions FBI Director Comey on Clinton Investigation

Oh, it's very important. Happens all the time, unfortunately. It's very, very important. Sometimes you prosecute that person and their corporation, sometimes you try and sign them up. But If they lie to an FBI agent after they're given immunity, they violated the terms of their immunity agreement. Oh, sure. After. After the agreement. And so that's my point. He shouldn't have immunity anymore. Oh, I'm sorry. I may have misunderstood you. He lied to us before. (05:01–05:07)
