MUELLER INVESTIGATION
(Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, we, our country, over the past 2 years
have lived through persistent and daily accusations against our
President of Russian collusion in his election, accusations made by
many Democrats and the media. Our President was accused of nothing
short of high crimes and misdemeanors.
A 2-year, thorough investigation was carried out. Last Friday,
perhaps the most thorough investigation in recent history concluded.
The investigation enjoyed not only complete, unlimited access to
witnesses, but the resources of the entire Federal Government,
including the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the intelligence
community.
The Mueller investigation reached a conclusion that no Russian
collusion took place nor was there any evidence of any participation by
any persons in the campaign.
The verdict is in. Nevertheless, our Democrat colleagues continue to
talk about a further investigation. Any further investigations would
not have the fraction of resources of the Mueller investigation.
I ask: Seriously? Another investigation? This one was not enough? Or
are we prolonging for the sake of prolonging this issue?
We owe it to the American people to accept the facts from a 2-year
investigation, move on, and do the work we were sent here to do. We owe
this to the American people.
