Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman says the evidence is overwhelming, the gentleman cites the Mueller report, the whole investigation that went on for 22 months with thousands of subpoenas, witnesses, and innuendos. And at the end of the day--with the full authority, by the way, Mr. Mueller had to file any criminal charges, if there were any laws broken that he saw--not one charge was filed. What is the most interesting and maybe the most telling is that, in your Articles of Impeachment, the eight pages that you filed, not one time did you mention the Mueller report, because there is nothing criminal in the Mueller report. If there was, you would have put it in the Articles of Impeachment. You are trying to remove a President of the United States from office, and the Constitution says the standard should be treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, which you would think means you would list high crimes and misdemeanors--or treason or bribery. There is not a word of bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors listed in this. Not one time is the Mueller report mentioned. So if there is all that rich data, it would be here, and it is not, because there wasn't anything that came out of the Mueller report. The gentleman mentions the Department of Justice----
