This level of conduct, paired with the failure to even feign an interest in transparency, is reprehensible. And whether you`re a Republican or a Democrat, this kind of obstruction is wrong period. For nine months, we have warned them…

if Congress does not have a legitimate legislative purpose here, when do we?

if we can't do it here, when will we ever be able to do it?

Mr. Meadows's sudden vanishing act is intolerable to the rule of law and to the work of our Committee.

This witness must testify, like 300 other witnesses before him have done, either voluntarily and proudly as a patriotic citizen or at least under compulsion of subpoena by the Congress of the United States.
