I appreciate your thoughts on this issue. Your input is important to me. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I support the President and oppose the ongoing sham process House Democrats have engaged in to overturn the results of the 2016 Presidential election. On my recent statewide townhall that reaches 100,000 Montanans, 87% of respondents did not believe the President should be impeached. I stand with them and President Trump. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>On October 31, 2019, I voted with every Republican and two Democrats against Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff’s effort to continue to impeach President Trump. The resolution passed and the process continues.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>This process began on September 24, 2019, when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced she was moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with the Ukrainian government. The next step in a normal impeachment process, is an investigation led by either the Judiciary Committee or a special Select Committee on Impeachment. Unfortunately, House Democrats are not allowing an open process. I believe the hearings must be conducted in the open and the accused should be able to defend themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>On December 3, 2019, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence voted along party lines to refer the inquiry to House Judiciary Committee. If the Judiciary Committee finds grounds for impeachment, the House would vote on whether to impeach the President. If the measure passes, the President is formally impeached and would go to trial in the Senate. In order to convict and remove the President, two-thirds of the Senate would need to support impeachment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Thank you again for getting in touch.
