The least of the threats that our western colleagues were talking about but its people which you wish to configure. The less the conference on 99 percent of the conference was your discussion about who is and who can formulate there are complaints regarding the other 10 the best way be it because. China russia or anyone else and against the backdrop of the speech by president was very very pragmatic very clear and the word you trying to think about what to do not to about looking for who to blame you will get by just defying the lack of affection and the proposal to start a dialogue regarding the Security Architecture with the rashid yes there is concrete. On the table actually opt for the u. S. Destroyed collapse of the one piece. Treaty and theyd cease to exist to president putin send up with them to give him the message send a letter to all the european leaders to all the world power leaders some where he explained our assessment of the situations she has and he urged them not to al
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.

When pollsters and pundits told them to call it bribery, that was the message of the week. Bribery was on every one of their lips. We asked the witnesses, did you see any bribery, were you part of any bribery . The answer was no, so they have to keep evolving the claims because there is no factual predica predicate.

And so today, the only question that we are left with when we conclude this hearing is whether or not as we move i
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 . Look to our framers, look to our patriots for courage because this is about courage. The courage to honor my oath, your oath. Mister chairma
Employees, in letters to the state department employees, the committee threatened witnesses that if they insist on having Agency Council president to protect the executive branch and the confidentiality interests or if they make any effort to protect confidentiality interests at all, these officials will have their salaries withheld. Withholding of salaries. The committees have not afforded the president basic protections, such as the right to see all evidence, the right to present evidence, the right to call witnesses, the right to have counsel present at hearings, the right to cross examine all witnesses, the right to make objections relating to the examination of witnesses, or the admissibility of testimony in the evidence, and did, not for the president the right to respond to evidence and testimony presented.
