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.

If President Trump and my Republican colleagues were so interested in rooting out corruption in Ukraine, there was so much they could do that they never did.

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

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

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.

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

It is the President who is abusing his power.

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.

We have a Department of Justice who will continue to protect him, but, fortunately, the American people have a Congress who can say that he is not above the law.

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.

We have to take action, we have to move forward, and we must impeach the President.
