Raising A Question of the Privileges of the House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MILLS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in favor of H. Res. 521 to censure and condemn Congressman Adam Schiff.

The bottom line is this: Congressman Schiff utilized his position and hid behind classifications to mislead the American people.

He abused his congressional authority and security clearance to push his own party's political agenda. This was not meant to be an unbiased jurisdiction of change; this was meant to be a political witch hunt.

When Members are appointed to the select committees on intelligence, they are trusted with privileged information. Other Members of the House are taking them for their word.

As someone who has worked within the intelligence community, I can tell you that our classifications that were available to take and read is not to be abused for our own ulterior motives.

I hope my colleagues will join Congresswoman Luna to censure and hold Congressman Schiff accountable and to put an end to the waste, fraud, abuse, and the gross neglect in how we take advantage of the American people.
