Elected, young president that we all were excited about, an anticorruption president. The president tried to coerce him into interfering in the 2020 elections. The things that i have heard today about the Vice President s child, the things ive heard about the Vice President s son when we have millions of people in this country who are suffering from addiction, i believe to protect the president at any cause is shameful.

And explaining this article of impeachment the house judiciary then stated that president nixons conduct was undertaken for his personal political advantage and not in the furtherance of any Valid National policy objective. The president abused his power and to me and at least the members of this side of the deus that matters and with tha
Family knows something about the sacrifice of serving us into a my brothers served in the navy and vietnam war. My brother bob serving sue terms in vietnam. Im lucky to serve with those who have served on my own staff. Lieutenant colin my lawn who was called to service to active duty and david carr again and now as members of congress its our turn to stand up and doctor king one said the ultimate measure of man is not where he stands on moments of comfort its where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. This is a time of great challenge and some of my colleagues do not want to face the reality of a president s wrongdoing. So i asked my colleagues tonight, what are you afraid of . This country was built by those who are brave enough to stand up against king george. We are called to stand up against donald j trump. What are you afraid of .

Committee members. Do you remember what the president said . Oh, i do. He gave a stemwinder about what he accomplished and what he wanted to do. How this is something he really needs to bd stand him in of i may by son of a [ expletive ] but im your son of a [ expletive ]. Were going to hear in just a moment some of the Opening Statements from the House Judiciary Committee in 1974. Can you explain to our viewers, the positioning between democrat and d. C. On this committee it and their onning statemepening the tone was set by the chairman. He tried to appeal to the nonpartisanship as possible. Clearly there were people on his side who were going to find Richard Nixon guilty of i impeachable offenses.
