EXCERPT:
BASS: "I cannot attend due to my schedule. I will tell you, though, Jacob, that it’s not just me showing up. They also asked for a ton of documents, and we will cooperate with that as we have with the other investigations. But when they do that, when they pile investigations on you, you can imagine how much money is being wasted spent because you have to have attorneys, you have to have staff that go through and send them document after document. I served there. I know what this dog and pony show is. I know what those house hearings are about. And you know, in my opinion, one, I could not make it this week, but two, I just think it is a complete misuse of resources"
