Rules committee will come to order. Ill now yield to the gentleman from texas, dr. Burgess. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I thank our witnesses for staying with us throughout all of this. I know youve been through a lot alread already, but i cant help but be struck by the fact that this does seem to be proceeding rather rapidly. It did, after all, all start with a phone call. No, not with a phone call in july but with a phone call in november when Molly Hemingway overheard incoming chairman nadler talking to constituents on the telephone and said that impeachment of the president was going to be of the highest order so although theres not a transcript of that call, it was well documented in social media and that seems to be one of the things that we can now use as evidence that can be introduced. Mr. Collins, correct me if im wrong, but it does seem like this is an exercise i think this is reflected in your dissenting views you submit ....
You dont think that affects our National Security, if you think ukraine is our ally as i believe you do and i do . I just dont accept the premise of your premises of thoughts. All right.

Its in my judgment a shame, what happened. And my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, i cant believe they wont address the facts as you have outlined and as i have attempted to and the chairman has. All they want to talk about is process. This aint about process. This is the president abusing his power. And you all will pardon me for not using my inside voice. But yall dont either. I yield back, ....
Your with the fbi . Were you acting alone or did you have authority from the Justice Department officials . How did your wife benefit from the dossier contract . Molly that slew of relevant question from our own chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge, who is live on capitol hill the latest. We are into the fourth hour of this closeddoor deposition taking place in the Office Behind me and the way that it works is periodically we get updates from lawmakers inside. Weve only heard from republicans this morning and thats because democratic lawmakers are not participating. They are leaving the questions to their staffers. In one of the headlines we have learned is that based on bruce ohrs testimony, many of them knew well in advance from the surveillance warrant, there were credibility issues and the briti ....
