                     WHAT ARE THE DEMOCRATS HIDING?

  (Mr. JORDAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, what are the Democrats hiding? What are 
they hiding? Trying to impeach the President of the United States 13 
months before an election based on an anonymous whistleblower with no 
first-hand knowledge, who has a bias against the President, who worked 
with Joe Biden, who wrote a memo the day after the call. And he 
described the call as ``frightening, scary,'' but then he waits 18 days 
before he files the complaint. And who does he run off and see during 
that 18-day timeframe? Adam Schiff, the guy who is running the secret 
process in a bunker in the basement of the Capitol.
  What are they hiding from the American people? Americans get 
fairness. They understand it. And they instinctively know that this 
secretive process is not fair. 435 Members of the House representing 
over 300 million people in this country, and only one of them, Adam 
Schiff, knows who the guy is who started this whole darn charade. Adam 
Schiff is the only one who knows. Why don't the rest of us? Why don't, 
more importantly, the 300 million people who we all get the privilege 
of representing, why don't they know who the people are who started 
this whole darn process that the American people see through?
  Americans get fairness, and they know this is instinctively unfair.
