         PUTTING PARTISAN POLITICS OVER THE GOOD OF OUR NATION

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to support 
President Donald J. Trump.
  The Democrats' entire impeachment process has been a sham since day 
one. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who was in 
charge of leading the inquiry, has lied to the American people.
  Chairman Schiff made up his own version of the President's call with 
Ukraine. He lied about his dealings with the whistleblower and has 
misled the country about the Trump campaign and Russia for years.
  Unfortunately, House Democrats again put partisan politics over the 
good of our Nation last night by blocking a vote to censure and condemn 
Adam Schiff. The chairman in charge of this ridiculous impeachment 
inquiry must be held accountable for blatantly misleading the American 
people.
  We have all seen the transcript of the call between President Trump 
and the President of Ukraine. There was nothing there. So my Democratic 
colleagues are left with making up their own stories and seeing what 
people will believe.
  Democrats won't even allow noncommittee members to attend depositions 
and interviews, nor will they specify their authority to do so.
  Madam Speaker, our country deserves better.
