Statement, pointing to mr. biggs amendment that its not true. its real clear. ukrainians signed two major anti-corruption measures. thats exactly what they did, high anti-corruption court when the parliament was first sworn in and they got rid of absolute immunity for members of their parliament. two pretty darn important anti-corruption efforts. mr. morrison, when he testified in front of this committee, told us -- excuse me, when we did his deposition, he told us when they were there with amba...

Thats a stain on this committee. this commit couldnt make their case. they came up with abuse of power. so they could put anything in it. and today weve heard that over and over and over again. why? because at the end of the day, the aid was delivered, nothing was held. yet were going to tell because it was supposedly pressure that the two on the call that didnt exist and the ukrainian leader said did not exist over and over and over again. but our majority would rather mr. zelensky and take him...

On to the lawn and was asked by a reporter, what did you want to get out of that call with president zelensky? and the president said i wanted him to -- these arent the exact words but he basically said i wanted him to open an investigation into the bidens. its that simple. so the the president himself has told us what his intent is. but lets go on to say that if my republican colleagues, as some just did, argue that the president -- no one can argue that the president is so interested in corrup...

>> i just want to answer the statement that the gentleman from rhode island made a little bit earlier. he said pointing that mr. gigs amendment that his amendment is real clear. the ukrainians under president zelensky signed two major anti-corruption measures. they enacted this high anti-corruption court when the parliament was first sworn in. and they got rid of absolute immunity for members of their parliament. two pretty important darn anti-corruption measures. in fact, mr. morrison, when he ...

Hearing this thing that, oh, hes really talking about corruption. well, no, the department of defense had said it was okay to release the aid here because they had already certified that corruption wasnt an issue. the people on the ground, the ambassadors, the national security professionals who had been appointed by this president said, no, that is not an excuse. we then hear that omb officials, office of management and budget officials are saying, whoa, whos holding up the aid? we dont have a ...

For political gain like that. but i would finish with this. ambassador taylor, when he came and testified under oath, he said during our call on september 8th, ambassador sondland tried to explain that president trump is a businessman. when a businessman is about to sign the check to someone who owes him something, he asks that person to pay up before signing. i argued, he said, that made no sense, ukrainians did not owe president trump anything. thats true. they owed him nothing to get the whit...

Silver betrayed jesus. for 30 positive tweets for easy re-election, the other side is willing to betray the american people, their precious right to vote and the future of our great country. and with that i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. for our purposes mr. gohmert receives recognition. >> i am really intrigued. first we are told that the offense is withholding aid even though it was provided, and, in fact, provided tremendously more helpful in both substance and in amount than the p...

In a debate and have a fair discussion substantively though. president trump did nothing wrong. as we have sat here today, each and every action of the president has been explained. we have offered the basis, the understanding, we have gained an appreciation for why the president would have reasonable concern about ukraine. why a president would have specific concern about this biden/burisma nexus. you havent heard any defense from them. you havent heard them say this is bogus. because we have p...

Now my colleagues have also said that the president knew that president zelensky was an anti-corruption fighter. but they just wanted to see if maybe he was really going to follow through. so theyre saying that the person before this president, before president zelensky, the previous president of ukraine, was a corrupt individual. they have said that through their remarks. well, if that president was corrupt, why if president trump cared so much about corruption, why did he release the aid in 20...
