00:00 The United States Senate, to your address, I ask for one minute to revise and extend
00:03 my remarks.
00:04 Without objection, the gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for one minute.
00:06 Mr. Speaker, what we saw in New York City this past few weeks was an abuse of our justice
00:11 system against an individual who happened to be the former President of the United States
00:15 and perhaps the next President.
00:17 It was a frivolous case and it was a clear attempt to undermine democracy.
00:22 Between the lack of evidence, the inability to clearly define the crime, the questionable
00:25 players involved, and the timing, the American people saw it for what it was.
00:31 Prosecuting political opponents like this happens in third world countries, not in America.
00:37 And I look forward to the players involved, the district attorney having an answer for
00:42 the actions before the judiciary committees, select subcommittee on the weaponization of
00:46 the federal government in near time.
00:50 Make no mistake, this verdict will be appealed and the outcome will be overturned.
