           LET'S GET ON WITH WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio. Madam Speaker, once again, Members returned to 
Washington this week. And, once again, important bipartisan work on 
issues like lowering prescription drug prices, encouraging rural 
broadband build-out, passing the USMCA trade bill, and improving 
America's aging infrastructure has stalled because of the very partisan 
efforts to impeach President Trump.
  This week, the Democratic majority will hold more secret meetings in 
the Capitol basement, release more selective, cherry-picked leaks 
designed to confuse the American people, and continue their guilty-
until-proven-innocent sham to impeach the President.
  They have been plotting this since he was walking down Pennsylvania 
Avenue on January 20, 2017, and probably even before that. But, the 
Russian collusion hoax failed miserably, and the Robert Mueller 
testimony gave them nothing. So, now, they are on to plan B.
  They say they have the evidence to impeach, but we have already heard 
that song. Democratic leaders have claimed to have evidence before. 
Let's see if they can actually produce their evidence this time.
  Let's get on with working for the American people.
