Heavenly Father, we gather today in this Senate Chamber with a humble and contrite spirit. Lord, we recognize Your divine inspiration and Your intentional hand in bringing us here together today in this place, at this appointed time, to do Your will. Lord Jesus, we thank You first and foremost, for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the sacrifice on the cross that led to our own salvation. During this season of Lent, we understand that our own fallen nature has been redeemed.

In Luke’s gospel today, You remind us that Jesus himself admonishes all of us to remember, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Lord, give us the wisdom and humility to stand with You, in all things, as we make our way toward Calvary, and the promise of forgiveness and eternal life in your Son.

In a special way, Father, we remember the men and women who serve our nation and are in harm’s way, and we ask that Your healing hand be placed upon those effected by the terrorist attack in London. May God grant them peace, comfort, and security in the days ahead.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Statements

Senator Knezek asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Knezek’s statement is as follows:

I rise today to speak to Senate Resolution No. 26, which would urge Congress to appoint a special counselor to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Earlier today, I moved to discharge this resolution from the Committee on Government Operations and asked that it be given immediate consideration during today’s session. Unfortunately, I was not granted this motion.

Madam President, we, the American people, have the right to know exactly what happened during the 2016 election. We have the right to know, and we demand to know the nature of the contacts between President Trump’s campaign and Russian agents. It has become clear over the past several days that Congress is incapable of conducting an investigation into this mater. Politics are standing in the way and those politics must be completely removed from this important process. Just yesterday, Congressman Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee whose job it is to investigate this very matter, potentially compromised the investigation when he admitted to briefing the Trump administration on the proceedings of that ongoing investigation—an investigation into their very own campaign.

As Senator John McCain, a Republican from Arizona, noted yesterday, and I quote, “It is a bizarre situation, and what I think, the reason why I’m calling for this special committee, I think that this back and forth and what the American people have found out so far that no longer does the Congress have the credibility to handle this alone.” Congressman Nunes himself admitted on Monday during testimony by FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Mike Rogers that a large, black cloud is hanging over Washington. Madam President, this cloud grows ever more ominous as more information comes to light regarding President Trump’s associates and their ties to Russian agents, from former campaign chair Paul Manafort to his close confidant Roger Stone.

At this point we have more questions than answers and that’s why it is time to move beyond conjecture, beyond rumor, and beyond political jousting and allow an independent investigator to get to the bottom of this. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened last year. They deserve the answers that are guaranteed to them in a free and open society. Let us not forget that this is their government, not ours. We are simply stewards for a very short period of time.

Madam President, this is not a Republican issue and this is not a Democratic issue—this is an American issue. This is an issue of patriotism. This is an issue that requires a steady hand, a thorough investigation, and an independent investigation, and that is something that our Congress can no longer provide.
