Protecting Our Democracy Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 5314.

Bringing H.R. 5314 to the House floor this week shows that the Democrats' priority is partisan politics, not policies that will directly benefit the American people.

If Democrats were serious about bipartisan reforms, they wouldn't be pushing a bill like H.R. 5314. This bill is nothing but a continuation of the Democrats' obsession with President Trump. He lives rent free in their heads.

This bill incorporates several unnecessary ``reforms'' that are nothing but an attempt to validate House Democrats' baseless investigation of the Trump administration.

It is a huge red flag that H.R. 5314 was referred to nine committees and not one Democrat-led committee has held a hearing or a markup on the legislation. This legislation is being pushed through without proper order, and I oppose it.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from the great State of California (Mr. Schiff), the distinguished chair of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
