If you want to run a grand jury, go get a jury. This is the United States Congress. Voting Members of Congress are being shut out of the room, Mr. Speaker. Voting Members of Congress are being shut out of this process. You want to call…

You can only read it in the press because of selective leaking. And so that is how Members of Congress are supposed to make a determination on impeachment of the President, based on selected leaks to the press?

Like so many of my colleagues here today on the floor, I rise in strong opposition to the way that this impeachment inquiry is being conducted--in secret, behind closed doors. Madam Speaker, we had an election in 2016 and the people of…

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----
