Abuse of power is the preeminent crime, which the Framers, even in the Federalist Papers, talked about as high crimes and misdemeanors for the purpose of impeachment.

It is the highest of high crimes and misdemeanors.

I want to hear someone dispute the fact that Rudy Giuliani was Donald Trump's personal lawyer.

I am very proud to stand with the patriots here on this committee.

Congress is equal with the Presidency.

You know the only people who benefited from this scheme? President Trump, because he thought he was going to get an announcement to smear his political opponent, and Vladimir Putin, Russia.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If we allow the President of the United States to again abuse his office for his own personal gain, it is shame on all of us.

Clearly, the July 25 phone call constitutes a wire communication.

Una democracia existe cuando nadie esta sobre la constitucion, y todos somos sujetos a la ley.

I want to hear someone dispute the fact that President Trump ignored the talking points about anticorruption in his both April 21 and July 25 calls with President Zelensky.

There are no crimes here? That is the defense my colleagues across the aisle are putting forward? How about the highest crime that one who holds public office could commit, a crime against our Constitution?

Impeachment was put into the Constitution because the Framers recognized that a President might arise who posed such a threat to the country, to our democratic system, to our free elections, that we couldn't wait until the next election to…

The urgency of this moment is the grave risk that the President will, again, abuse his power of the presidency to try and secure his re-election.

We must act with a sense of urgency to protect our democracy and defend our Constitution.

America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.

He is the first President to engage in wall-to-wall stonewalling.

The President is losing in a national poll by double digits to Joe Biden. Those are the facts.

Le pido a dios que nos de sabiduria, y que nos ayude unir nuestra querida patria, los Estados Unidos Americanos.

I want to hear someone dispute the fact that, when Rudy was hired, the anticorruption ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, was fired.

The President doesn't just have bad reviews, he has really bad prior conduct. Serious priors. He is a repeat offender, crimes against our Constitution.

This really is a very, very tragic moment in American history, a very dark moment in American history.

He is a clear and present danger to do it again.

Donald Trump used his office to abuse his power to reelect himself.

Donald Trump abused his power by putting his pure personal gain over our country.

Donald Trump withheld $391 million in aid that was essential to Ukraine.
