Pr mr. President , i just listened to the majority leader come down to the floor and tell members of the senate that they should close their eyes and box their ears to the current scandal that is engulfing the white house and the trump administration. I heard the majority leader accuse of democrats of quote, politicizing, unquote, president trumps demand that the government of ukraine interfere in the 2020 election. That is a laughable charge and its not going to silence us on this matter of grave importance. First of all, i have no idea what it means to politicize something these days.

This is a sad day. It is focused and accelerated as we go forward. Speaker pelosi happens to be the speaker of this house, but she does not speak for america when it comes to this issue. You cannot decide unilaterally what happens here. We were investigating this president before he even got elected. We voted three times on impeachment on the floor. Our job here is a serious job. Our job is to focus on the american public. Our job is to make tomorrow better than today. Isb is to like i to legislate, not continue to investigate, to impeach this president. Realized 2016 did not turn out the way Speaker Pelosi wanted it to happen, but she cannot change the laws of this congress, she cannot unilaterally decide we are doing an impeachment inquiry. What she said today made no difference on what is going on. Than whatifferent matters. It is time to put the public before politics. Thank you.
