democratic majority has run this chamber, this committee, and this investigation. the chairman and members of this committee keep saying that history will judge our decisions. well, i would offer that your decisions and that of your colleagues in the majority will be judged much sooner than in history. they will be judged by the voters in november of 2020. then i guess we will see who was on the right side of history. i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. mr. neguse. >> thank you, mr. chair. i'd like to begin tonight by speaking directly to the americans listening and watching who may disagree with the steps this committee is taking. i hope that you will understand that we are proceeding on this path truly out of love for our count country. we are your neighbors, your colleagues, your fellow worshippers, and we are all citizens of the greatest nation on earth. we are blessed to live in a country where our similarities far outweigh our differences.
