                   CENSURE REPRESENTATIVE ADAM SCHIFF

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of my colleague   
Andy Biggs' resolution to censure Adam Schiff for the way he has 
conducted this impeachment inquiry behind closed doors and in secret.
  We have seen this pattern of misinformation time and time again, 
where he throws out false information, like when he said he had more 
than circumstantial evidence that the President colluded with Russia. 
Then, after the Mueller report comes out, we find out there was no 
collusion. Not once did he try, by the way, Mr. Speaker, to present 
that evidence because there was no evidence.
  Then he goes on and gives this false representation of the 
whistleblower report. Of course, we now have seen the transcript. We 
know what happened. There was no quid pro quo, even though he was 
alleging quid pro quo.
  Now he is holding meetings in secret, behind closed doors, to impeach 
a President of the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, we had an election in 2016; Donald Trump was elected. We 
have another election next year, and the people will decide who the 
President is, not Speaker Pelosi and not Adam Schiff behind closed 
doors.
  We need transparency, and we need to end this kangaroo court witch 
hunt. Let's get back to the people's work here in this House.
