“The findings of the special counsel conclusively refute your past and present assertions and have exposed you as having abused your position to knowingly promote false information. We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as chairman of the committee. Mr. Chairman, this letter is signed by all nine members of the Republican side of the House of the committee, and I ask unanimous consent to be entered into the record at today’s hearing.” “My colleagues may think it’s O.K. that the Russians offered dirt on the Democratic candidate for president as part of what was described as the Russian government’s effort to help the Trump campaign. You might think that’s O.K. My colleagues might think it’s O.K. that when that was offered to the son of the president, who had a pivotal role in the campaign, that the president’s son did not call the F.B.I. He did not adamantly refuse that foreign help. No instead, that son said that he would love the help of the Russians. You might think it’s O.K. that he took that meeting. You might think it’s O.K. that Paul Manafort, the campaign chair, someone with great experience in running campaigns, also took that meeting. You might think it’s O.K. that the president’s son-in-law also took that meeting. You might think it’s O.K. that they concealed it from the public. You might think it’s O.K. that their only disappointment after that meeting was that the dirt they received on Hillary Clinton wasn’t better. You might think that’s O.K. I think it’s immoral, I think it’s unethical, I think it’s unpatriotic, and yes, I think it’s corrupt and evidence of collusion. I will not yield. Mr. Ambassador” — “Will the gentlemen yield because you just made some” — “I will not yield.” “If you’re going to say ‘we think’ you ought to allow us to speak of what we think.” “You can use your five minutes to speak. You attacked me in your opening statement, and I responded.” “I have not have not had an opportunity to respond at all, especially to your statements of what we think because no one over here thinks that.”
