“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this resolution. Special Counsel Mueller's investigation has resulted in 199 criminal charges against 39 people and entities. Seven people have pleaded guilty, and five people have been sentenced to prison. This investigation has been conducted on behalf of the American people, and they are entitled to know the results of this investigation. This investigation was begun to safeguard our democracy, and the American people deserve to know the results of this investigation; and yet President Trump has repeatedly sought to attack and discredit the investigation, labeling it a witch hunt and even contemplating firing the special counsel. The President's pick for Attorney General, Bill Barr, has also made it clear during his confirmation hearing that he will only follow DOJ's policies that are convenient for the President. Therefore, it is up to Congress to make sure that documents related to the special counsel's investigation are preserved and published. That is why I introduced the Special Counsel Transparency Act, with Congressman Doggett, to require the publication of the special counsel's report. No one person should decide what the public gets to see. The American people have a right to come to their own conclusions and to know that justice was served. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the American people. Allow them to see the results of the investigation conducted on their behalf. Bring transparency to this process.…”
