Sondland whether president zelensky was going to, quote, do the investigation. We have the president many public statements, including his october 3rd statement that ukraine and china should investigate his political rival. Even though minority counsel mr. Castor admitted there was direct evidence he said we had some direct evidence on certain things and we had direct evidence on the may 23rd meeting, and sondland given direct evidence, and quote, the second hand accounts are also extensively corroborated. For example, ambassador taylor mr. Morrison both testify during as number seven phone call with ambassador sondland, President Trump said there was no quid pro quo for that president zelensky had to go to the microphone and announce investigations. And im giving with one hand taking away with the other. Ambassador sondland testified he had no reason to dispute ambassador taylor mr. Morrisons testimony about this conversation.

Articles of impeachment, abuse of power, and obstruction of congress. Now more from the House Judiciary Committee hearing, starting with ken box from colorado. The gentleman is recognized. I heard my colleague from rhode island say this isnt about policy differences, this is about our obligation to protect and defend our constitution. It is about courage. It is about policy differences because you said nothing on your side, when president obama sent his surrogates out to lie about benghazi. You said nothing when president Obamas Administration entered into a gun running deal with mexican cartels, and the fast and Furious Program was developed. You said nothing about democrat leaders. This is about a policy difference. It is not about courage. I do not question anyones courage on the other side of the aisle, i question your judgment. I do not question your courage. I think the American People are getting tired. I say that because i have a friend from college, jim. And jim sent me a text

Im tammyin hi, baldwin, i have the honor of working for wisconsin in the United States senate. When it comes to health care, the difference between democrats and the republicans today couldnt be more clear. Andressional republicans President Trump tried to pass repeal plans that would take away Peoples Health care and allow Insurance Companies to charge more or deny care for people with preexisting health conditions. Effort failed, because the American People spoke out, the Trump Administration went to work sabotaging our health care system, instead of working on Bipartisan Solutions that would Lower Health Care costs and expand coverage for hardworking families across this country. President trumps in court right now trying to including guaranteed protections for 130 3 million americans who have preexist
Before the committee is the amendment of an issue the substantive. Mister chairman for what purpose to the gentleman strike . For purposes the gentleman seek recognition that we have had. I would like to start out by commanding the chairman for following the rules. I think that this markup has been a lot better than it couldve been and i think the chairman has been probably very even handed about that. That being said, let me say that the chairman and those on his side of the aisle are dead wrong and all of the issues, both today and last night, as well as beforehand. The constitution says that the president and other civil officials can be impeached for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. I think it is very obvious that there was no treason or bribery alleged here, and it goes on to what has been alleged in these two articles, whether they really are high crimes and misdemeanors. I would submit the answer in both of them as an emphatic no. What is accused of being
