Madam Speaker, with all due respect, this process is rotten to the core. The gentleman can talk about process, and he can talk about facts. The facts point out that this process is shrouded in secrecy. Madam Speaker, you literally have a…

You are the one who made the official decree. This is my time. I will yield time to the gentleman in a moment. If he wants to talk about fairness, let's lay out the facts because these are the facts: Our side cannot call witnesses. The…

You think fairness is you being able to control everything and not letting the other side----

So let's look at the process. Let's look at the facts. Yes, if you think it is fair that you can control everything and deny the ability for Members of Congress to go in and see what is happening behind closed doors in that room, if you…

I would trust Mr. Nunes to have equal access to call in witnesses, just like Chairman Schiff does, to subpoena people. Chairman Schiff can do that, and Mr. Nunes cannot. Why is Mr. Nunes denied those same rights that the chairman has…

If you would yield, if you are talking about the whistleblower, we are talking about a whistleblower, again, who is deemed to have a political bias who got all of their information secondhand. And oh, by the way, the standard for being a…

I thank the gentleman for yielding because there were many things that were thrown out there that need to be addressed. First of all, the Department of Justice disagreed with Mueller's assessment that he didn't have the ability to bring…

I am going to yield in a moment after I go through the different claims the gentleman made. It is real interesting that the majority leader read selectively from that conversation between President Trump and Zelensky on: Will you do me a…

Madam Speaker, I would hope the gentleman is not trying to conflate Ukraine with Turkey and Syria and the Kurds.

Well, first of all, there were no foreign leaders being asked to interfere with elections. Russia was trying to interfere with our elections when Barack Obama was President. President Trump is in this phone call and in other actions trying…

But the gentleman won't bring that bill to the floor that would pass and be signed into law today, and families across America would be paying lower prices for drug costs. But we don't get that opportunity because they are focused on an…

So I would just ask the gentleman, would he be willing to treat this impeachment inquiry, as the Speaker designated it, like all of the other impeachment inquiries in the history of this Congress that have been held, in a fair process…

CrowdStrike was the subject of the favor for us, for our country, to find out how Russia interfered with the elections. By the way, all nine Republicans of the House Intelligence Committee sent a letter to Chairman Schiff accusing him of…

The last time it was done was during Bill Clinton's time in office. That was the last time it was done.

I am talking about fairness, both sides having equal access to call witnesses, to counter things that are said that are inaccurate, which are, right now, not being allowed to happen. Again, it is in secret. Nobody can see. You can make…

And the Chief of Staff talked about corruption, which is the law, by the way. The law says we have to root out corruption.

Well, if both sides wanted the truth, they would let all witnesses be able to come forward. You shouldn't be so insecure in your claim that you won't even let somebody come and give an alternative view of some of the secondhand and, in…

Mr. Speaker, on so many of those bills that the gentleman mentioned, the gentleman failed to point out the poison pills that were attached to those bills to ensure that they went out in a partisan way. Case in point is the bill the…
