                         STOP IMPEACHMENT SHAM

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, after several weeks in the secrecy of the 
basement of this building, the impeachment process has moved upstairs, 
and it doesn't look a whole lot better in the light of day.
  Chairman Schiff has made it pretty much a one-man show and continues 
to deny a due process that you would normally see in a court of law, 
with bipartisan input. In other modern impeachment examples, you have 
seen input from both sides. We are not seeing that here. We have this 
really ugly display going on of a partisan witch hunt against President 
Trump.
  Nothing has changed by coming upstairs. It doesn't look any better 
under the light of the cameras. The star witnesses brought today, 
indeed, are not stars at all. They weren't even present on the call 
between the President of the United States and the Ukrainian President.
  Indeed, what we have is a sham. It needs to stop because it is 
dividing our country and dividing our ability to get anything 
accomplished in this place for the American people.
