this president. one last thing, i guess we now know why nancy pelosi was focus grouping bribery as a potential charge, because she was desperately searching for a crime, any crime, to justify this sham impeachment. that effort was abandoned because she knows most members of congress know and now the american people know there simply wasn't a crime committed here and there shouldn't be an impeachment here either. i yield back. >> will the gentleman yield -- >> mr. chairman. >> what purpose does mr mr. swalwell seek recognition? >> to strike the last word. >> the gentleman is recognized. >> there are no crimes here? that's the defense my colleagues across the aisle are putting forward? how about the highest crime that one who holds public office could commit, a crime against our constitution.
