mr. murphy: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, at a time of international turmoil and crisis like this, all of us, i think, are sometimes prone to hyperbole. i count myself as part of that club, and i endeavor to do better. it doesn't serve this body well to warn of bad decisions that could lead to war. if we're only doing it to serve political ends or to bloody up a political opponent. crying wolf also anesthetizes the public and risks dulling the country's senses for a moment when the peril is real. any time we're considering asking the men and women of our armed forces and their families to make further sacrifices for their country, we have to treat those moments with the gravity that they deserve. and so let me state at the outset of my remarks that there are important reasons why i believe that both iran and the united states do not want to enter into a conventional conflict that would likely involve the united states taking steps to remove the supreme leader from power and which would likely involve an invasion th

mr. shokin but before the ukrainian parliament voted to remove him, a bipartisan group of senators, including senators portman, durbin, shaheen, ron johnson, murphyirk, blumenthal and sherrod brown send a letter to president poroshenko that urged him to make urgent reforms to the prosecutor general's office. the month after the senators sent that letter, mr. shokin was fired. he was fired. so lets be very, very clear. vice president biden called for the removal of this prosecutor at the official direction of u.s. policy because the prosecutor was widely perceived as corrupt and with the support of all of our international allies, his actions were therefore supported by the executive branch, congress, and the international community. common sense would tell us that this allegation against joe biden is false and that there was no legitimate basis for any investigation, but there's several other reasons, you know, that the only reason president trump wanted ukraine to announce the investigation into biden that was all solely for his very own personal benefit. so if you look at this slide, it had summarize so will summarize some points. first, none o
