Mr. Speaker, I just want to talk a little bit about this impeachment process, or whatever you want to call it that we have going on. The American people deserve the facts--and just the facts--not supposition from witnesses who have second- and third- and fourth- and fifth-hand information. They have a right to not have lawyers and alleged whistleblowers, who the lawyer has--the coup started in 2017 as soon as our President took office, or impeachment next. Mr. Speaker, the people of America deserve the facts. They don't deserve secret proceedings, leaks, misinformation, and disinformation. And I just want to make a small point. A whistleblower is not afforded anonymity by the statute. They are afforded the protection from firing or retaliation, not anonymity. It is not a hotline or an anonymous tip line. Mr. Speaker, I ask that the misinformation and disinformation stop. Just the facts. ____________________
