Joyce Statement On ‘Groundhog Day’ (AKA: The Mueller Hearings)

October 6, 2020

Congressman John Joyce (PA-13) today issued the following statement after Robert Mueller testified in front of the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees:

andldquo;As a representative from rural Pennsylvania, I'm quite familiar with andlsquo;Groundhog Day,' and that's exactly what Robert Mueller's testimony today reminded me of.

andldquo;Just as Mr. Mueller warned us before he appeared, he did not offer any additional information beyond his report, which we already knew did not conclude that President Trump colluded with the Russians or committed obstruction of justice.

andldquo;Today's entire exercise was a giant waste of taxpayer time and brought out the worst of Washington. In engaging in this failed charade, it's clear that my colleagues across the aisle have no intention of leading or addressing the multiple crisis items our country currently faces before we depart for our district work period. We should be spending our time creating jobs and assisting our dairy farmers through the passage of the USMCA, securing our border by passing the Fix the Immigration Loopholes Act, and lowering prescription drug prices with the passage of my Ensuring Timely Access to Generics Act of 2019. Instead, Democrats have spent the last four months making it their top priority to rehash a closed case, and they have looked incredibly foolish in the process.andrdquo;
