Mr. Chairman. What purpose ir trying the last word. The gentleman strikes the lastem word. Recognized. Thank you. I yield to the rankingst member just real quickly, the gent thely lady from california stat something irn addressed head on last night. Undersecretary haleig said it w perspective money, not interfering or dealing with the issue. For those of us who have been in a war zone people do die. This money did not stop that. That is something that cannot be continuedme to perpetrated on ts world. Reclaiming my time. Theec difference in the Clinton Impeachment and this one, president clinton committed a crime, perjury, this president isnt accused of committing a crime. The constitution is prettymi clr on what constitution impeachable offense, treason, bribery and other High Crimes And Misdemeanors. Its not treason, bribery, other High Crimes And Misdemeanors and adam schiff an nancy pelosi deem impeachable. No president should abuse the
powers of his or her office like the chairman
his lengthy investigation. i object. i want tos see it. s the gentleman reserves an objection. wants to see it. that s fair. does for what purpose does mr. reschenthaler seekur recognition? i thank you and move to strike the a last word. withouthe objection. i yield to my friend and colleague from florida. i thank the gentleman from yielding. i just gotro to come back to th interview with yermak. like the tree that fell in the forest that f nobody heard that demolished the entire democrat case. they have no evidence that the ukrainians ever knew that this aid was withheld. they re literally trying tos from cute an impeachment against theut president for a shakedown when the alleged people being shook down one said they felt no pressure and two, did not even know it was happening. then time and again, you heard them in debate and in press conferences and the whole circus
hearing about the crimes of the candidate trump and then the crimes of president trump and we come nowp today, based on the initial fraud that got this whole impeachment stuff started, and no one on the other side is willing ton acknowledge the frd that brought us here, nor the fact that so many people here have been screaming about the president s crimes and we re even hearing today like we did, oh, yes, there were crimes. why aren t they in this impeachment document? because they don t exist. they ve been disproven over and over and over again. that s why theag gentleman s amendment is so well taken. you don t want to go down this ground. i think it s a bad idea when it wasad proposed before. high crimes and misdemeanors, if it s not treason, even
foreign government to target an american citizen. i yield back. the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does mr. gates seek recognition. strikes the last word. there were five meetings that we have detailed that show why the aid was released. there was a beliefs on the administration previously that ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world, they had not engaged in sufficient reforms and aftered number of events with the vice president with a bipartisan senate delegation there was a resolution of that aid. this debate just lacks a certain sincerity. i hearder earlier my friend fro california mr. swalwell say, list out all these crimes. ifse i m watching at home i m thinking where are they in the impeachment. that is a democrat drive-by. to list crimes that you don t allege and you don t have evidence y for. is ever a microcosm of how to consume this day and the importance with the american people they re naming crimes in
debate they don t have in their impeachment resolution because they can t prove them because there are no underlying fact. i hear my friend no new york mr. jeffries bring up russia, the residue of impeachment theories pastmp and failed, how is debatg about how are we here debating about military aid, javelins, that president trump delivered, that president obama withheld. i hear them crying the alligator tears, trump didn t give the aid, we have to impeach him. wrfs the concern about how to make thebo ukraine great when obama was president. it s four things. they ve never changed. i think mr. jordan dreams of them in his sleep. both president trump and president zelensky said, there was no pressure. we saw the call transcript. there s no conditionality. there was never awareness on the part of thear ukraine that ther was a delay in aid. and the ukraine got the aid
