There is much Congress can do from the testimony of FBI Director Comey, including standardizing the type of hardware providing the best security for government use.
AGAIN.
This is the first White House to use cyber as a means of conducting government business. There were no regulations providing for the best hardware and software. Congress has the obligation to provide guidance to the security for the federal government. The day President Obama was inaugurated there was a struggle with the national security officials regarding the use of his Blackberry.
With over seven years of experience regarding the technology and national security, the Congress can pass legislation as a guide to the hardware used by the USA government. As a matter of fact, Congress should provide funding to establish a state of the art technology without going to commercially available telecommunications. After seven years of experience it seems all too obvious the USA needs to develop it's own unique hardware and software to insure the best possible protections for the country.
Bozos coming forward as an expert in such development and only screws it up is a reason to arrest and try for fraud. Any contractor should not be Russian or Chinese nationals.
Chaffetz is an idiot. He didn't know the information he wanted from those subpoenaed to testify was classified? And he should be the one to say what of the Clinton emails is classified or not? I don't think so.
Chairman Comey made testimony and that is all that is needed. Chaffetz is pathetic. When is Colorado going to send real Congresspersons to DC?

..."As far as I can tell, (click here) the only 'emergency' is that the election is less than two months away," said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., dismissing the "emergency" hearing late on a Monday.
Chaffetz issued the subpoena to Jason Herring, the acting assistant director for congressional affairs. Herring and six other Obama administration officials appeared before the committee to discuss the investigative files. The witnesses on several occasions said they could not answer the questions from lawmakers in an open forum.

The committee later voted to hold the remainder of the hearing in closed session....
