                           MUELLER RESOLUTION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Reed). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Rokita) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROKITA. Mr. Speaker, I stand here today ultimately seeking 
justice for the American people and to end what our President has 
rightfully described as a witch hunt.
  For too long, our resources have been wasted on Robert Mueller's 
probe into Russian collusion in our 2016 elections. Not only has this 
probe dragged on for over a year, but it has undermined our entire 
system of justice at this point while giving Washington elites and 
their biased counsel a pass to work above the law, exempt from any 
boundaries.
  Through my Mueller Resolution, I am calling for us to call for the 
termination of the probe if no evidence of Russian collusion can be 
provided. And, again, after over a year, no evidence has been provided. 
It is time for the restoration of the rule of law back into our Justice 
Department, and that is why I am imploring my colleagues to fight 
alongside me by signing on to this resolution. Let's work together to 
end the clear manipulation of power against our President.
  The President has the American people's prosperity and security at 
the top of his priorities.
  Let's look at the results so far. Let's look at his track record. The 
economy is booming, regulations have been cut, and we are leading the 
world again.
  This witch hunt against our President is unprecedented and it is 
uncalled for.
  The Democrats have become the party of obstruct and resist, obstruct 
and resist, obstruct and resist.
  The Dems call Trump's tax cuts crumbs, even though it benefits 
millions of Americans. Those $1,000 bonuses that are the result of the 
tax cuts and the economy booming are putting more food on the table, 
more security in the home, help with childcare, and everything else. 
They are anything, but crumbs.
  The Democrats are calling for the abolishment of ICE, even though 
they protect millions of Americans, even though they protect us. Since 
when has this body, since when has a party become so resistant, become 
so obstructionist against law and order, against law enforcement, 
against our fellow citizens who are protecting us.
  The Democrats are out of touch with the American people.
  It is time to throw our full support behind the President.
  Just look at this week in the Senate. Senator Corey Booker said that 
anyone who supports Judge Cavanaugh, President Trump's next nominee for 
the Supreme Court, is ``complicit in evil.''
  Mr. Speaker, how far have we gone? How out of touch is one political 
party in this Nation?
  Let's support the President when he wants to put America First, and 
all that means. We saw that with NATO, he is calling on the other 
nations to finally pay their fair share, to do what is right, to do 
what they agreed to. If we have to be the world's police force, at 
least we should have some help paying for it.
  And the same with what is going on at the U.N. We pay, we pay, we 
pay, the taxpayers pay and pay and pay, yet we don't get the services 
we deserve or the leadership that we also deserve. It is time to put 
America First. Other countries have to help support.
  Let's support the President in leading again. Let's support the 
President in making America First again.
