  PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF CONGRESS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ON A POLITICALLY 
                     MOTIVATED IMPEACHMENT CHARADE

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, yesterday's public impeachment hearings 
produced some noteworthy facts. Representative  Mike Turner's question 
of Ambassador Volker took apart the Democrats' entire case. Volker 
confirmed that President Trump never said that Ukraine must investigate 
the Bidens in order to receive defense aid from the United States.
  Further, Representative Elise Stefanik's questioning of Tim Morrison 
showed there was no quid pro quo, no bribery, no extortion, and no 
mention of withholding aid in exchange for investigating the Bidens.
  Witnesses have repeatedly stated that no quid pro quo, no bribery 
took place. These facts, which indeed clear our President, do not 
change. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to be denied basic due 
process rights.
  Democrat leadership continues to put politics before the people 
obsessing over impeachment and refusing to work on policies that would 
actually benefit the American people: ratifying the USMCA, permanently 
extending the 2017 tax cuts for families, and lowering the cost of 
prescription drugs.
  The people are tired of this Congress spending their tax dollars on a 
politically-motivated impeachment charade.
