Thank you, madam speaker. it is deeply unfortunate that we have to undertake this impeachment proceeding that unfolds this evening. but the part we play in this process is not optional. among other things, as the intelligence and judiciary committees have painstakingly dock ooumed, the president has unfoouzed his authority and on struked justice. he threatened to withhold u.s. taxpayer dollars from an ally under attack from russian unless they agreed to enter fooer in the election. he continues ...

Speaker, i struck a nerve. nor do they wish to defend a president that would ex-sort an ally with whole military aid to help him cheat in an election. they dont want to defend that conduct. so instead they say all democrats really want to impeach the president or democrats dont like the president. but what they cant say is this presidents conduct was ethical. what they cant say is that this presidents conduct was legal. what they cant say is this presidents conduct was constitutional. what they ...

Think about this. the attack startled then. theyve continued right up until today. i want you to think about something. the individual who said the fisa process was fine, the dossier was fine, the russian investigation was fine. that same individual ran the impeachment process, same individual met with the whistle-blower, only guy who knows who it is for sure, and released the phone records of the presidents personal attorney, the phone records of a member of the press, and of a republican membe...

Things done, having results, taxes have been cut, regulations reduced, unemployment at its lowest, ghoer such and kavanaugh on the court, embassy in jerusalem, and a new nafta agreement coming tomorrow. but guess what? when you drain the swamp, the swamp fights back. and they started attacking the president before the election even. july 31st, 2016, they opened the russian investigation. the fbi spied on four american citizens associated with the campaign. the fbi took it to the fisa court, the ...

And switzerland. the checks and balances they construct would the separation of powers brought about and successfully negotiated a generation of challenges that we have sustained. in the very first week that the framers began crafting this blueprint for americas freedom and stability and negotiations indeed immediately started on impeachment. no government in the world at that time exposed the head of government to impeachment, but america was to be different. in the view of the framers impeachm...

Alleging all kinds of things, some for the very first time. this is not a somber process. this is a political drive-by. they just want president trump gone. but this neverending march towards overturning the 2016 election has consequences because youre selling 63 million voters that you dont respect their vote. voters in states like mine who not that long ago used to send democrats to this agust chamber but recently found no home in the democratic party. we feel their values have been replaced b...

Reporter: good to see you my friend. james comey, a captivating conversation by the way. he did defend the agency he once led. he acknowledged mistakes as you pointed out in the fisa application process sought to investigate the trump campaign. i thought it was interesting that he took particular care to notice the difference between what has been termed misconduct and mere mistakes. >> what i mean is, that the fbi was accused of treason, of illegal spying, of tapping mr. trumps wires illegally,...

I hope that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle when we take up impeachment next month have that same standard for the weight of evidence that we will be asked to look at. thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you. you identified significant issues with the fisa application process for surveillance and before this investigation, were you aware of problems with fbis use of the fisa process? i was not personally although we have done reports, senator, since 9/11 in my office. >> well, you cant s...

Shiny object wehe hear in the weeks ahead. >> thats a strategy they are banking on, the president and his attorney general have made no secret about their deep sadness and disappointment in the fbi director christopher wrayi for not going along. they both contradicted him and horowitz and really been singing offbe a different song sheet. i agree with frank. i worked in a white house that relied very much for controversial national security purposes the fisa court and the fisa process. it is pain...
