think, what's best stated by colonel vindman's opening statement. the question before us is this -- is it improper for the president of the united states to demand a foreign government investigate the united states citizen and political opponents? it is very well-stated. i just listened to mr. jordan, as you did, as well, and i heard his criticisms of the process. nothing really happened. a lot of people are out to get the president. i didn't hear an answer to the question as to whether it's proper for the president of the united states to demand a foreign government to investigate a u.s. citizen and political opponent. and, to date, i haven't heard any one of my republican colleagues address that questi question.
