                      IMPEACHING WITH A VENGEANCE

  (Mr. BYRNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BYRNE. Madam Speaker, today the Democratic majority is not 
judging the President with fairness, but impeaching him with a 
vengeance.
  In the investigation of the President, fundamental principles which 
Americans hold dear, privacy, fairness, checks and balances, have been 
seriously violated, and why? Because we are here today because the 
Democrats in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Trump, 
and until the Democrats free themselves of this hatred, our country 
will suffer.
  Now, if that sounds familiar, you have got a longer memory than the 
Democrats. Those same comments, but addressing Republicans' actions 
towards President Clinton, were made by Nancy Pelosi in 1998.
  Could there be a clearer indication of the hypocrisy that fuels the 
Democratic sham impeachment process currently taking place behind 
closed doors?
  If Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats truly care about, in Pelosi's own 
words, ``the fundamental principles which Americans hold dear, privacy, 
fairness, checks and balances,'' they will restore transparency and 
integrity to this process.
