"In 1998, you joined your Democratic colleagues in stating that in an impeachment inquiry the President deserves not only the presumption of innocence and the right to confront witnesses, but 'due process quadrupled.'"
"[Chairman Schiff] did not permit Republicans or the President to call any additional witnesses. We hope that will change. To provide context and transparency about the underlying facts at issue in this 'impeachment inquiry,' the American people deserve to hear from the following witnesses in the Judiciary Committee . . . "
"We are committed to protecting the value of every American’s voice by securing our elections from fraud. These are our priorities and our principles.
"Full protections are afforded under current federal law for all those with valid claims of discrimination in voting. Unfortunately, the bill before us today would turn those federal shields that protect voters into political weapons."
"Clause 2(j)(1) of Rule XI is clear and unequivocal: once the demand is made, Minority Members 'shall be entitled to . . . call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least on day of hearing thereon.'""The requested minority hearing day must take place before articles of impeachment are considered by the Committee. I’ll remind you once more: [t]he Chairman is entitled to his opinions. He is not entitled to break the rules, abuse his power, and impose his will.'"
"If presidents can be impeached for partisan policy differences based on presumptions and feelings, not actual evidence, Democrats have profoundly undermined the precedents of this institution."
"Democrats’ miserable record and utter lack of fundamental fairness will doom any articles referred to the Senate, but immense damage will already have been inflicted upon the American people and our political system."
"When the FIRST STEP Act was signed into law last year, it represented monumental bipartisan reform to our prison system. Today’s bill builds upon that momentum because it promotes fairness in the implementation of Good Conduct Time."
"American families bravely serving our country abroad shouldn’t have to fight through piles of bureaucracy to ensure their children are rightfully considered American citizens.”
"[B]ipartisan cooperation has been the exception, rather than the rule. Under your leadership, bipartisan solutions to real problems affecting real Americans have been sacrificed in favor of Committee Democrats’ obsession with impeaching the president and undoing the 2016 election."
"We do not have the Schiff Report. We do not have any underlying materials to the Schiff Report. We do not know of any hearings other than one of academics and possibly a presentation by Chairman Schiff’s committee. For the first time in history, this Committee will weigh impeachment without any evidence for us to review."
"The Committee must ensure it maintains its credibility and its historically preeminent role in the impeachment of presidents by not rushing to articles of impeachment or hearing only from scholars with demonstrated animosity towards the President. Throughout this hurried and partisan impeachment process, I have consistently requested mere fairness from members of the majority. An equal distribution of experts for the December 4 hearing would be a small concession to demonstrate to the American people this impeachment inquiry is not merely political theater."
"Chairman Schiff has engaged in an assault on the already one-sided process. Based on the publicly available transcripts, it appears Chairman Schiff has worked in concert with select disgruntled bureaucrats to withhold evidence from Intelligence Committee Republicans, this Committee, and the American people.""In light of how Chairman Schiff is conducting the impeachment process and pursuant to Section III of H. Res. 660, all materials in the custody of the Intelligence Committee should be transmitted immediately to this Committee..."
