AND WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I YIELD BACK.
YIELD BACK. >> GENTLELADY YIELDS BACK.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER
AMENDMENT, WE HAVE CONCLUDED
DEBATE IN THE AMENDMENT IN THE
NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE.
THE QUESTION OCCUR ON THE NATURE
OF A SUBSTITUTE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RESPOND BY
SAYING ’AYE.
SAYING ’AYE. OPPOSED NO.
OPPOSED NO. >> NO.
>> NO. >> IN THE OPINION, THE AYES HAVE

TO BE CLEAR, THE AYES HAVE IT.
THE AMENDMENT AND NATURE OF THE
SUBSTITUTE IS AGREED TO.
TO BE LEER, THE VOTE THIS
COMMITTEE JUST TOOK WAS NOT A
VOTE ON FINAL PASSAGE OF THE
ARTICLE.
ARTICLE. IT WAS A PROCEDURAL VOTE WHICH
PRECEDES FINAL PASSAGE OF EACH
OF THE ARTICLES.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TWO DAYS OF
CONSIDERATION OF THESE ARTICLES,
AND IT IS NOW VERY LATE AT
NIGHT.
NIGHT. I WANT THE MEMBERS ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE AISLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT
HAS HAPPENED OVER THESE LAST TWO
DAYS AND TO SEARCH THEIR
CONSCIENCES BEFORE WE CAST OUR
FINAL VOTES.
FINAL VOTES. THEREFORE, THE COMMITTEE WILL
NOW STAND IN RECESS UNTIL
TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:00 A.M.,
AT WHICH POINT I WILL MOVE TO
DIVIDE THE QUESTION SO THAT EACH
OF US MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO CAST UP OR DOWN VOTES, SS ON
OF THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
AND LET HISTORY BE OUR JUDGE.
THE COMMITTEE IS IN RECESS.
>> CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, THERE
WAS NO CONSULTING FROM THE
RANKING MEMBER ON YOUR SCHEDULE
FOR TOMORROW AND WHAT YOU HAVE
JUST BLOWN UP SCHEDULES FOR
EVERYONE?
EVERYONE? YOU CHOSE NOT TO CONSULT THE
RANKING MEMBER ON A SCHEDULE
ISSUE OF THIS MAGNITUDE?
SO TYPICAL.
SO TYPICAL. THIS IS THE KANGAROO COURT THAT
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
>> NOT EVEN CONSULT?
>> YOUR STALINESQUE.
LET’S HAVE A DICTATOR.
IT’S GOOD TO HEAR ABOUT THAT.
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
>> UNBELIEVABLE. >> WELL, GOOD EVENING.
WE’LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS.
WE ARE TOGETHER ON WITNESSING
THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
JERRY NADLER HAS THROWN A
SURPRISE INTO THE PROCEEDINGS.
LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT’S STILL
GOING ON INSIDE THE HEARING
ROOM, SHALL WE?
>> WE DIDN’T HAVE ANY FACT
WITNESSES, BUT WE HAD A
THREE-DAY TRIAL.
THREE-DAY TRIAL. >> UNBELIEVABLE.
>> UNBELIEVABLE. >> HOW ABOUT THAT?
>> WELL, IT TOOK THEM ALL BUT
TWO NIGHTS TO REALLY SHOW THEIR
TRUE COLORS.
TRUE COLORS. >> THIS WAS A REALLY SNEAKY
MOVE.
MOVE. NONE OF US CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT
THIS.
THIS. WE WOULD NEVER --
>> I THINK IN PART, WE ARE GENUINELY SURPRISED, ALL OF US,
THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED IN THE
COURSE OF THIS HEARING THAT WAS
A GENUINE SURPRISE, BUT THIS IS
IT.
IT. YOU HEAR COLLINS -- LET’S LISTEN
TO COLLINS.
TO COLLINS. WE’LL CONTINUE TO TALK WHAT WE
JUST WITNESSED.
JUST WITNESSED. >> WITH ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER
DOING OUR FINAL COMMENTS LIKE WE
DID.
DID. AND THEN TO DO THAT RIGHT THERE
SHOWS THAT CHAIRMAN NADLER’S
INTEGRITY IS ZERO.
HIS STAFF IS ZERO.
THEY HAVE NOTHING THAT THEY CAN
OFFER ANYMORE EXCEPT THE
KANGAROO COURT WE HAVE SEEN THE
LAST FEW DAYS.
THE GIANT RUBBER STAMP YOU HAVE
JUST SEEN IN THIS COMMITTEE HAS
MADE THIS COMMITTEE IRRELEVANT.
THE CHAIRMAN HAS MADE HIMSELF
IRRELEVANT.
IRRELEVANT. THAT WAS THE MOST BUSH LEAGUE
PLAY I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
THEY WANT TO SIMPLY GET IT BACK
ON THE CAMERAS.
IT’S AFTER 11:00 TONIGHT AND
THEY DON’T THINK ENOUGH PEOPLE
IS WATCHING.
IS WATCHING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY WANT
TO GET IN FRONT OF THESE CAMERAS
MORE THAN THIS GROUP RIGHT HERE.
THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING THEY
CAN IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT ON,
THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO MOVE
ON EXCEPT FOR BUSH LEAGUE STUFF
LIKE THIS.
LIKE THIS. THIS JUST SHOWS THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WHY THIS RIGHT HERE IS
WRONG.
WRONG. THEY SHOULD SHOW THIS RIGHT NOW
