Ruben Gallego releases statement on Judiciary hearing with Deputy AG Rosenstein | 2017-12-13 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | AZ | Ruben Gallego | G000574 | rubengallego.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) released the following statement in response to the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: “House Republicans didn’t have the dignity or self-awareness to disguise their intentions at today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing. In spite of Robert Mueller’s sterling reputation, they were clearly determined to discredit his investigation and to lay the groundwork for President Trump to fire the Special Counsel. They should be embarrassed and ashamed. “There’s mounting evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with an enemy of the United States in order to sway the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Every American who loves our country and genuinely cares about our democracy should want to know the full truth about what transpired. Yet, at every turn, House Republicans have either sought to change the subject or to cast doubt on Mueller’s independence and integrity, despite the fact that many of them lavishly praised him before the former FBI Director was chosen to lead the Russia probe. “Ultimately, the Trump administration’s evasions and outright lies represent a challenge for Congress as an institution – a test of our collective character that House Republicans are clearly failing. Time and time again, they have placed partisanship before patriotism. Over and over, they have bent over backwards to cover for Donald Trump. My Republican colleagues are letting their constituents and our country down. “The American people deserve better.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
