Louie Gohmert: “This is an important time. We have got people who are demanding that the Senate do what they hypocritically refused to…”

“This is an important time. We have got people who are demanding that the Senate do what they hypocritically refused to do here in the House, and that is to have a fair investigation and have fair hearings. And, in fact, we know the majority is the majority; they can change the rules anytime they want to. But they didn't even bother to change the rules. They just said: Do you know what? Even though the rules say that the minority can have a minority witness day, we are going to just ignore that and move on, because time is of the essence. So we didn't need any evidence to show that our friends were not being completely genuine with their comments, no, because we heard: Clear and present danger; urgent; urgency; got to happen now; we can't wait; we can't follow the rules; we can't hear witnesses here in the House; we have got to have this impeachment done. And then they sit on it for over a month. Seriously, that says what anybody needs to say. This was never serious to begin with in the respect that there was a serious charge. There was no serious charge. It is supposed to be about treason, bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors. All of those are crimes, including misdemeanors. Look at the charges: abuse of power, obstruction of Congress. Those are the two charges that those pushing impeachment are guilty of, not this President. Madam Speaker, this is a scam. It is a shame. The Senate should just go in and have a trial, follow the Clinton rules, and that is it.…”
