Thank you. Ms. Divine. Thank you, mr. Maguire, for being here. We appreciate your life of Public Service. My question relates to prior to the transmission on august 26 from the ig to the dni, were there any conversations that you had with the ig prior to august 26 related to this matter . Congresswoman, theres been a lot thats happened in the last several weeks. As far as the timeline is concerned, i think that id like to get back to you and give you a full chronology if i may on the actual timeline of events. That would be very helpful to this committee in terms of, if there were any preliminary conversation, what was discussed and if there was any action taken as a result of those conversations. I want to turn to the complaint itself which is made public for the American Public to read. Let me preface this by saying i greatly appreciate your statement that you believe the whistleblower is operating in
good faith. I think thats very important for americans to hear. But on page one, an
American peoples money on this impeachment, theres so many other important things that are going undone. Within this committees own jurisdiction, we should be addressing the opioid epidemic. We could be working together to find a solution to our immigration and asylum challenges on our southern border. We could be protecting americans from having their intellectual property and jobs stolen by chinese companies. And we could be enhancing Election Security just to name a few things. And congress as a whole could be working on rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Providing additional tax relief to the nations middleclass families and providing additional security to our people here at home and abroad. Instead, here we are spinning our wheels once again on impeachment. What a waste. The American People deserve so much better. I yield back. Gentleman yields back. Mr. Cohen. Thank you, mr. Chair. I take no pleasure in the fact that were here today. As a patriot who loves america, it pain

it pain meese ths me the circum force us to undertake this solemn obligation. Nonetheless on the public evidence it appears President Trump pressured a Foreign Government to interfere i
have great job opportunities and that s coto this labor market. of course you mentioned price pressures. it is not the case the fed is the only detailee on that case. this president has dispatched his economics team to do everything we can to help ease those price pressures. i can take you through those activities. in fact i think it would be a good idea. okay. but let me ask you, and i know you re doing things, you re working on companies and working on the supply chains. right. but are you frustrated what i laid out is true. the fed has never waited so long or for prices to go up so much before doing anything. does that concern you that they could be behind? or do you not share those fears people like larry summers have been open about having? i m paid to worry about everything and i do. this is a fed that has performed extremely admirably over this
august. the same month the whistle-blower submitted his complaint. and it goes on to point out that grace was hired to help schiff s committee investigate the trump white house. that month trump accused schiff of stealing people who were working at the white house. and chairman schiff said, if the president s worried ak hour hires former administration maybe he should work on being a better employer. no. he should have fired everybody just like bill clinton did all the u.s. attorneys on the same day. that would have saved us a lot of what s going on here. so, anyway, we need those two witnesses. they re critical, and then we also need someone who is a cia detailee to the ukraine nsc desk, state department voyeur shows italy implications in the last elections. he speaking arabic and russian,
