Political Quotes

“Make no mistake about it: through their words and actions, President Trump and his allies are doing everything they can to destroy the independent investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller through provocative tweets: a witch hunt; Through reckless actions: firing Director Comey and Assistant Director McCabe; and Through provocative statements: his personal attorney calling for an end to the investigation. The question, Mr. Speaker, is not what the President wants to do or may do. The question is: Will Congress do what it must do, which is protect the Mueller investigation? A number of us have a bill that would do just that. Our bill would require a three-judge panel to approve any dismissal of Mr. Mueller. Mr. Speaker, no American is above the law, no Member of Congress is above the law, and no member of the executive branch is above the law, including President Trump. Mr. Speaker, let the House vote on our bill. Make each one of us be accountable to our constituents on the rule of law. Will we vote to protect the Mueller investigation or will we acquiesce to the President's threats and temper tantrums? Mr. Speaker, let us vote. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________”
