Riots to see where the streets whether the streets of those cities and towns are controlled by mayors, city council es, Police Departments or vandals and looters and rioters, criminals and thug it is. In raleigh, north carolina, the police chief there has already decided to hand over that city to the mob. I will not put an officer in harms way to protect the property inside of a building. Lou the protesters who are filling the streets of some of this countrys largest cities bring with them, last night, more violence, more looting, arson and vandalism. It is particularly troubling that these rioters and looters are turning now on our Police Officers, in some cases trying to kill them. Some wounded officers this evening are near death. Video capturing the demonstrations of barbaric violence as you see here. One man in the bronx holding a new York City Police sergeant down on the sidewalk as another man beats him with what appears to be a metal sign before they run off. In the same part o
The hearing will come back to order. And for the outstanding work you have done, thank you this has to be one of the hardest jobs in government to be the impartial watchdog and with those Government Agencies as important as department of justice and fbi i want you to know how much we appreciate your work and your teams work likewise it is important even though we are critical of the leadership of the fbi during the last administration the way they mishandled this counterintelligence investigation and the colleagues need to know that we are there for them and support them in the faithful discharge of their responsibilities. I served that there is no more ardent supporter. And i believe that general hayden when he wrote his book had it right it is called playing to the edge not over the line but up to the edge so that also makes it important for us to root out the illegality and the exercise of those that are given to the Intelligence Community. So let me ask you about that. Because i ca
Ruin health care. We were sent here to secure the border and to do our very best to prohibit sanctuary cities in this country. We were sent here to stop this body from ignoring states rights. Yesterday we passed the ndna bill. Somehow, someone slipped in a provision that every federal employee, every federal, not just Defense Department employees, but every federal employee will be given three months of paid family leave. Every federal employee. All those americans sitting out there dont get that. Its exactly why were here. To make sure that we hold congress to a higher standard. And if you issue an article of impeachment for obstructing congress, youre going to make this president more popular, not less popular. Congress is an embarrassment and this president is holding his campaign promises, moving the embassy to jerusalem, cutting taxes, cutting regulations, sustaining an amazing economy with low unemployment, job creation, bringing manufacturing jobs back, negotiating trade deals.
Bringing them. Again we can fact check this all night. Were here to do this. Its just amazing though that after three and a half hours earlier laying out everything that happened. Look being at what went forward. These these actually Going Forward are not what is happening here. So again lets get it one thing clearly for those who may have tuned in after lunch after now the the transcripts are accurate. You know how i know because everybody testified they were. Even fiona hill says the lechlt lpses was not at issue. That talking point lets mark off. Discuss the fact of us as accuracy. Its called he had reading. You read the transcript as its put in. It said you us, not me. These the things simple that go forward. I yield to mr. Jordan process. I thank the Ranking Member for yielding. I want to go back to something the gentle lady from texas mentioned a few minutes ago questioning whether the transcript was complete. Remember what colonel vindman testified to. He said it was complete an
Canada trade deal. And then know celebration, just more frustration after senator mcconnell announced there will be no vote on the landmark trade agreement, saying the senate will take it up after the impeachment trial. Well not be doing usmc sarks between now and the end of next week. That will have to come up in all likelihood right after the trial is finished in the senate. Lou what can you say. The house announcing two charges against President Trump. One for abuse of power. The other for obstruction of justice. Both charges appear to any reasonable person at least as weak, meaningless, a massive waste of time and taxpayer money. President trump provided this reaction on the white house south lawn. The democrats couldnt find have much because they put up two articles that frankly are very weak. Also they approved today of all days, we have been waiting a year. They approved the usmca. I call that the Silver Lining to impeachment. The impeachment is the reason they approved it and t
