Rhinos criticized his decision and called for an endless continuation of u. S. Involvement in what the president termed long bloodstained region. Sin turkey, syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries. We have done them a Great Service and we have done a great job for all of them. And now we are getting out. Let someone else fights over this long bloodstained sand. There were some political pundits who responded to turkeys offensive in syria by calling for yet another American Military intervention. I dont think so. They are the ones that got us into the middle east mess but never had the vision or the courage to get us out. They just balked.

Hearings. Behind those doors think intend to overturn the results of an american president ial election. Maybe in the soviet union this kind of thing is common place. This shouldnt be happening in the United States of america where they are trying to impeach a president in secret behind closed doors. Im a green beret. Im a proud veteran. This process does not make me proud. Regardless if you hate conservative or love donald trump. If you are an american you have to be outraged by what is going on here. Trish number one, there was no inquiry vote. Nancy pelosi i suspect doesnt have the votes, right . So she is not allowing congress to take a vote on any of this. You consider both the nixon and clinton proceedings. They were launched via a vote. And the inquiry was announced before any democrat had even read the transcript of the president s phone call with the newly elected head of ukraine. The socalled whistleblower met with adam schiffs team ahead of time, something ship went on Natio

Schedule. Congressman scalise started by asking leader hoyer about Republican Committee members rights during the closeddoor hearings. H this impeachment inquiry. And there are hearings going on behind closed doors. Many of my colleagues have tried to attend some of those hearings and have been turned away if they are not on the committees of jurisdiction, colleagues that have tried to read things like the volcker testimony and have been turned away, denied the ability to do that. There is a real concern that there is an attempt to impeach a president of the United States, remove a president who was dualy elected using a process of secrecy behind closed doors where one person is setting the rules, breaking with the tradition that weve always had with the only three other times in our countrys history where an impeachment inquiry began in the house.
