Kurt Bardella: “For eight years, House Republicans searched for a ‘smoking gun‘ that could unravel the presidency of Barack Obama. They presided over hundreds of oversight hearings, issued more than 100 subpoenas, held the attorney general in contempt of Congress, and even formed a special select committee devoted exclusively to one investigation, on Benghazi.”
“As someone who spent five years working alongside Republicans on the Oversight Committee, I can tell you that we never found a ‘smoking gun’ like the testimony that was provided yesterday from the senior U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, William Taylor.”
“As I read through Taylor’s statement, which was given under oath, I couldn’t help but think to myself how my former Republican colleagues would have reacted if similar testimony had been given by a career diplomat during the Obama administration, especially during the Benghazi investigation, which produced 33 hearings in two years.”
“The reality is that if Pompeo, Jordan, and House Republicans had received the kind of bombshell testimony we heard from Taylor yesterday, they would have immediately moved to impeach the president.”
