I appreciate anybody who would come and give testimony. But it is interesting to see that the same chairman who just spoke eloquently about those who testified would have to actually dismiss completely almost anything by Mr. Volker or Mr…

It is a shame, on the floor of this House, when you accuse somebody and then make them prove they are not guilty of what you are accusing them of. Madam Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. John W. Rose).
I would remind this whole body that it is more than eight lines. In fact, there are four facts: There is no pressure. There is no conditionality. They did nothing to get it. And they got the money. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to…
I would never have thought that a Department of Justice investigation was used as a money revenue plot, but I guess one thing is true: It was a loser for the minority in a net profit situation. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the…
I always like to be polite, and I do appreciate the gentleman from California confirming everything I just said in my statement a moment ago. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Wenstrup).
I also would like to remind the gentleman from California that Mr. Sondland also said he had no direct evidence; he presumed that that was going on. I guess we are back to presumption again. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the…
I also remind my chairman that impeachment was never meant as a political weapon in between elections when you can't win the next one. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Conaway).
It is interesting that the President was supposedly given rights in the Judiciary Committee, but maybe who would he have asked questions of, three law school professors and a staff member? Not a lot of due process there. Madam Speaker, I…
It gives me pleasure to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
I wish, as the gentlewoman just said, that they would examine the factual conduct, but I guess that is not going to happen. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson).
I know this is probably not true, but I think the speakers are not working on the majority side because I have talked about it, and many of our Members have talked about the facts. Let's just go over them real quickly: no pressure, no…
I inquire how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 1 hour and 44\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New York has 1 hour and 47\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I am glad to know that Mr. Trump was giving them lethal aid, actually, something to fight back with, not what was previously given to them. And there was, again, from the President, himself, no pressure put on him. Your whole case is sort…
I also remind my chairman that the impeachment was not to be used between election cycles to defeat a sitting President who you think will be reelected. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Buchanan). {time}…
It is my pleasure to yield 1\1/ 2\ minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. McHenry). Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, in 2016, 63 million Americans went to the polls and elected Donald Trump President of the United States. House…
Undoubtedly, H. Res. 660 does not matter to the majority, in particular, the manager of this bill, because the inspector general, his transcript has not been released. There have not been documents that were transferred that were supposed…
I would have to disagree with my chairman. I am not sure what he has been watching, but the facts are not undisputed. They are very much disputed, not only by the minority, but by the witnesses who actually testified. Mr. Speaker, I yield…
I do believe that our elections should be free and fair. I do believe that with all my heart. Except it seems like in this case impeachment is based on the fact that the Speaker said last month it would be dangerous to leave it to the…
Georgia is home to a vast agriculture industry with hardworking farmers, ranchers, growers and processors who contribute to America's economy every day. In the northeast corner where my district is located, more than 10,000 farm operators…
I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 260, noes 165, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 5, as follows…
The moment I saw that they decided to use abuse of power, what they did is they gave their whole conference carte blanche to make up anything they want and call it abuse of power.
I have made my statements very clear on this, and I will continue to do so. For people who have really struggled with and want to be a part of this, I am also going to say that this is a time when we can reach out occasionally across the…
A final statement of something I am about to submit for the Record, it is a Statement of Administration Policy. It says this: ``In sum, several provisions of H.R. 4 violate principles of federalism and exceed the powers granted to Congress…
To close. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity at the time we have laid this out. There have been exhaustive hearings on this. Our objection to this is not about anything else except that we feel the wording of this and the way this…
