POTENTIAL CRIMES AND COVERUPS
(Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump poses the greatest
Presidential threat to our democracy since Richard Nixon. It is about
the potential crimes and the potential coverup. Seventeen different
intelligence agencies have concluded that the Russians interfered with
the election in order to help Donald Trump. Top Trump cronies like
Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn all had regular
communications with high-level Russian intelligence agents at the same
time they were engaging in hacking.
The National Security Adviser resigned in disgrace because of illegal
communication with the Russian Ambassador. The President refuses to
denounce Vladimir Putin and continues to try to make Russia great
again.
Connect the dots. It is time for House Republicans to do their job
and put country ahead of party. Join us in a bipartisan investigation
of the White House. What did the President know, and when did he know
it?
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The Chair would remind Members
to avoid improper references to the President.
