Doug Collins

If you can't even put the transcript in the right context, just read it.

It's been said all along that we have to do this because if we don't impeach him, he'll win again next year.

It's just amazing that we continue to propagate that myth here tonight.

It's interesting to me that staff told Members of Congress that that wasn't relevant or that wasn't relevant.

It does matter when they knew and didn't know.

That was nothing more than a smear campaign. And to say it's not is being disingenuous with this committee.

For anyone, the media or watching on TV or watching in this room, for anyone to think that this was not a baked deal is not being honest with themselves.

This is a stunning abuse of power and a shameless travesty of justice that will stain the reputations of those responsible for generations to come.

I'm not being pressured, I'm not being--there's nothing here.

This is not what the Judiciary Committee should be doing.

The Democrats are fond of saying no one is above the law, but they have one unspoken caveat: except for themselves.

Don't make it up and don't not tell me or the rest of this committee who ordered that.

They know this is going nowhere in the Senate and they're desperate to have an impeachment vote on this President.

The Speaker has already short-circuited what should be a solemn, painstaking, thorough, and, above all, fair process.

You see, presumption has now become the standard instead of proof.

The sham impeachment. When we go through this, I think the chairman said something that was interesting.

The chairman continues to just disregard House rules.

There have been famous moments in impeachment.

This institution, as we see it today, is in danger.

The reason it's been unfair is because the facts aren't on their side. The facts are on the President's side.

Everyone is afforded due process. Everyone is afforded the process to actually make their case heard.

I would argue it's not a fast impeachment; it's a predetermined impeachment, predetermined impeachment done in the most unfair partisan fashion we have ever seen.

There was no quid pro quo in the transcript.

This impeachment narrative being spun by the majority is a fake one.

It started with tears in Brooklyn in November 2016, when an election was lost.
