According to the report, Benny Thompson, a U.S. Democratic member of the House of Representatives and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said before voting, "I expect the House of Representatives will quickly refer this case to the Department of Justice, and the U.S. prosecutors will perform their duties to despise Congress.
