00:00Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address the terrible precedent set in our country four days ago.
00:06Using the justice system to engage in a politically driven prosecution and now conviction of a
00:13major political party nominee running for president, especially on the charges brought
00:18against Donald Trump, should gravely concern every member of this body as well as every
00:24American across our country, whether they be Republican or Democrat, for Donald Trump
00:30or against him.
00:31Regardless of one's opinion of the current Republican nominee, we'd be well served to
00:36remember the long and cherished tradition we have in this country of settling our political
00:43differences at the ballot box.
00:46For nearly two and a half centuries, our nation's elected leaders have properly resisted the
00:51temptation to oppose their political rivals through the weaponization of our justice system.
00:58Equal justice for all.
01:00And an overall trust in our justice system is fundamental to who we are as Americans.
