Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in opposition to this resolution, which is a Republican attempt to delay and derail the Mueller investigation. Mr. Speaker, what we have today is a Republican President who is under criminal investigation. We have a Republican-led House of Representatives that is doing its best as a cult following for the President to help him thwart the investigation, help him stop the investigation. So what this is all about today is to pass a resolution that would result in the Justice Department, which is conducting the investigation of the President, to turn over documents that go to the heart of the investigation. Now, why do they want the Department of Justice to turn that documentation over to them? Well, so that it can be leaked, leaked to FOX News, get back to the President, and then the President will be in a much better position to do what he does when it comes to being investigated criminally. And what it all adds up to, ladies and gentlemen, is politics trumping justice. You never investigate an investigation that is ongoing. You wait until that investigation is over, then you judge the investigation as to whether or not it was fair. So everything that the Republicans are doing here today is against justice; it is against the rule of law; it is against the Constitution; and it is against the America that we all hold dear. This is a stretching, a warping of the power of the legislative branch.…”
