I helped secure a few hundred acres in south Mobile County that has virgin timber on it, and what I want to do is bring those kids out of the inner city that don't get a chance to see a tree other than what is downtown, and teach them how…

Again, this isn't a real impeachment, it's a pre-determined, pre-planned, partisan political stunt.

Instead of wasting more time on a baseless impeachment, we should get back to the work of passing bills that will actually help solve problems.

You cannot impeach a Cabinet Secretary because you don't like a President's policies.

I just heard a committee Member say, and I quote, "They are not prepared to be assimilated," talking about immigrants.
