“Let me just note this, if the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde) was being accused of perjury and saying that he had committed perjury in the past, how can he now investigate and have a perjury investigation? If the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde) was being accused of obstruction of justice, that would be something else. We probably would say maybe there is a point here, and someone has a built-in situation where he should not be that chairman or something. That is not what the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), what they brought up. That is not what they brought up on the gentlewoman from Idaho (Mrs. Chenoweth) and the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton). Let us say that the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) had been accused of all sorts of campaign violations, and of course he is looking into campaign violations himself, these things. Hypocrisy is something that someone can talk about and charge with someone. Someone has a double standard and things such as that. But that is not what has happened here. And, of course, we do know that Mr. Starr, and I have not personally commented on this. This is the first time that I have publicly commented on this. That Mr. Starr, of course, the investigator himself, has been brutalized over and over and again these last few years.”
