                             FRIVOLOUS CASE

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, what we saw in New York City this past few 
weeks was an abuse of our justice system against an individual who 
happened to be the former President of the United States and perhaps 
the next President. It was a frivolous case, and it was a clear attempt 
to undermine democracy.
  Between the lack of evidence, the inability to clearly define a 
crime, the questionable players involved, and the timing, the American 
people saw it for what it was. Prosecuting political opponents like 
this happens in Third World countries, not in America.
  I look forward to the players involved, the district attorney, having 
to answer for their actions before the Judiciary Committee's Select 
Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in near 
time.
  Make no mistake that this verdict will be appealed and the outcome 
overturned.
