that think president obama abused his repower, but we didn do thisis to the country. we didn t put him through this nonsense andth this impeachment. youhi all set the standard. we didn t setse it. you said this would have to be bipartisan, compelling and overwhelming. it ain t that. and this looks pretty bad. i yield back. the gentleman yield back. for what purposes miss jayapal seeks recognition? thank you,se mr. chairman. just in response be. strike the lastju word? move to strike the last word. th recognized. in response to my colleague from florida, you cannot argue things both ways. you cannot say that the president was so concerned about ukraine that he released aid, which is true, he released aid in 2017, in 2018, and then suddenly, he became concerned in 2019. right after vice president biden announced he was going to run. if your argument is he was so
