How to use pertinent in a sentence?

1. Trump Jr. attorney:

   ( a) part from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate, and not pertinent.

2. Jacob Bronowski:

3. Jamal Ware:

   The Select Committee on Benghazi today issued subpoenas for all communications of former Secretary of Hillary Clinton related to Libya and to the State Department for other individuals who have information pertinent to the investigation, the committee also has issued preservation letters to Internet firms informing them of their legal obligation to protect all relevant documents.

4. Dave Jones:

5. Adam Schiff:

   There is nothing to testify about. I think if President Donald Trump or President Donald Trump allies in the Senate persist it means they are not serious about what they are doing, what would I offer in terms of testimony that I heard Dr.( Fiona) Hill in open hearing say such and such ? That is not pertinent. The only reason for them to go through with this is to mollify President Donald Trump and that is not a good reason to try to call a member of Congress as a witness.
