Steve Scalise

So I would just ask the gentleman, would he be willing to treat this impeachment inquiry, as the Speaker designated it, like all of the other impeachment inquiries in the history of this Congress that have been held, in a fair process…

I would hope the gentleman is not trying to conflate Ukraine with Turkey and Syria and the Kurds.

I thank the gentleman for yielding because there were many things that were thrown out there that need to be addressed. First of all, the Department of Justice disagreed with Mueller's assessment that he didn't have the ability to bring…

--of collusion, and there was no collusion. So now we move on to this claim of quid pro quo. Well, first of all, you can name all the whistleblowers you want--you won't. You won't even allow the whistleblower to be interviewed, someone who…

So a phone call, this was before the transcript was released, there were all of these insinuations. And this is a pattern, by the way, we have seen even going back to the Mueller investigation. And again, I cited the chairman running…

As the so-called whistleblower complaint started with leaks to the press, where they said there were quid pro quos in the phone call with Zelensky, that is where this all started----

With all due respect, the goose is being cooked behind closed doors because you started an impeachment inquiry by decree. You could change the rules today. If this is an impeachment inquiry, if it is--and I would ask the question: Are we…

I would trust Mr. Nunes to have equal access to call in witnesses, just like Chairman Schiff does, to subpoena people. Chairman Schiff can do that, and Mr. Nunes cannot. Why is Mr. Nunes denied those same rights that the chairman has…

You think fairness is you being able to control everything and not letting the other side----

You are the one who made the official decree. This is my time. I will yield time to the gentleman in a moment. If he wants to talk about fairness, let's lay out the facts because these are the facts: Our side cannot call witnesses. The…

I know we all continue to mourn the loss of our colleague, Elijah Cummings. We still see the flowers sitting in the spot where Elijah used to sit. Yesterday, I thought we had a very appropriate remembrance of our colleague in a special…

We ought to know the answer to that question. ____________________

I, as an individual, and as a representative of March For Our Lives strongly oppose the notion that arming teachers will make schools safer.

I know we will have more debates next week over the limited number of items coming to the floor. Hopefully, some of these other items can get addressed in a bipartisan way, but I know there are other battles ahead, and we will do our part…

I ask the gentleman: What was the question? I yield to the gentleman.

There are a number of items to address there. First, clearly, there is kind of a recoil that seems to happen by Mr. Hoyer and a number of others on the other side when the term ``socialism'' is used to identify the policies that are being--

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for the week to come. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), my friend.

Found out that Americans died when it was known that it was dangerous where they were. Why weren't planes circled? You could have flown jets over there in 15 minutes to scare away the people who were attacking that Embassy and killing…

It was unwarranted, what happened there. Fast and Furious, a lot of questions raised. There were multiple times when the President took action where, ultimately, he was found to be out of compliance with the law, where courts reversed what…

Eight hearings, and maybe more should have been had, to investigate why those deaths happened that should not have happened.

If you talk about Benghazi, there are a lot of serious questions that have not been answered yet.

Let's be clear on the funding of government. From last year, we did fund over 70 percent of the government, and we didn't play a partisan game with our Nation's defense. This bill, the NDAA, you can talk about what both sides should do.

It is there. It is evil.

I think, while white nationalism is most organized right now, also we should keep an eye on, again, groups like Antifa on the left.

Whatever has to be done to stamp it out, we have to do, whether it is cooperation internationally, nationwide among local police.
