>> IN 1998, SENATOR SCHUMER SAID

AND I QUOTE, THIS IMPEACHMENT

WILL BE USED AS A ROUTINE TOOL

TO FIGHT POLITICAL BATTLES.

WE THOUGHT WOULD SAY A

PREDICTION.

IT WAS A PROMISE.

NOW IT'S PLAYING OUT.

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING DONE

HERE.

FOR THOSE THAT SAY WE DON'T

ADDRESS THE DEFENSES OR FACT,

HERE YOU GO.

THE IMPEACHMENT SERVES TWO

PURPOSES.

NUMBER 1, STOP THE INVESTIGATION

BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF

JUSTICE AND UKRAINE IN TO THE

CORRUPTION OF UKRAINE

INTERFERENCE IN THE U.S.

ELECTION IN 2016.

YOU SAID THIS WAS ABOUT OH, THIS

TERRIBLE RUSSIAN COLLUSION.

THAT FELL THROUGH.

IT'S ABOUT EMOLUMENTS, BRIBERY,

EXTORTION.

IT'S CHANGED.

ONE THING HASN'T CHANGED AND

THAT IS THE INTENT TO IMPEACH

THIS PRESIDENT.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE.

LET'S BE HONEST.

THE PRESIDENT TURNING HIS BACK

ON UKRAINE, THAT HAPPENED IN

2009.

IN 2008, UKRAINE INVADED

GEORGIA.

WHAT HAPPENED?

BUSH PUT SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA TO

TEACH THEM A LESSON.

WHAT HAPPENED?

IN MARCH OF 2009, HILLARY

CLINTON WAS SENT TO RUSSIA WITH

A RESET BUTTON TO SAY, BUSH

OVERREACTED.

WE'RE OKAY THAT YOU INVADED

GEORGIA.

IT WAS A GREEN LIGHT TO RUSSIA

TO INVADE UKRAINE AND WHAT DO

YOU DO?

OH, YEAH, YOU SEND BLANKETS AND

MREs THAT YOU EAT AND BE WARM

WHILE THE RUSSIANS ARE KILLING

THEM.

THAT IS WHAT THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION DID.

THIS IS A TRAVESTY.

WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE.

SCHUMER WAS RIGHT.

NOW IT'S LOWERED EVEN FURTHER,

THE BAR.

IT WILL BE USED FOR POLITICAL

BATTLES AND THIS COUNTRY'S END

IS NOW IN SIGHT.

I HOPE I DON'T LIVE TO SEE IT.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

I YIELD BACK.

>> GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK.

>> I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT ANY

MEMBER OF THE HOUSE WOULD SPOUT

RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA ON THE FLOOR

OF THE HOUSE.

I NOW YIELD ONE MINUTE TO THE

GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK,

MR. HUGGINS.

>> THE GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK

IS RECOGNIZED.

THE HOUSE WILL COME TO ORDER.

THE GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK IS

RECOGNIZED FOR A MINUTE.

>> THANK YOU.

THE HOUSE WILL COME TO ORDER.
