“But what we are saying is that that is what the underlying tension in this city today is as we are moving forward to investigate a crime. We have done everything that we can do. My colleagues have not seen me on the floor, and my colleagues have not seen the gentleman from Arizona on the floor. We both would like to speak, and we are politically oriented. We are in the middle of the year. My colleagues have not seen some of the other great, great speakers on the Republican side of the aisle down in the well and making political hay out of this. We are not. We have not been doing that because we know that that this body has to determine, as the gentleman showed in the Constitution, it is up to us to uphold that standard and determine if a crime has been committed. God will judge people's sin and morals. It is up to us to make that judgment if a crime has been committed. To have in the middle of this now, to have this word go out that anybody who gets too tough, even the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary is going to find themselves the subject of a smear. Anything they have ever done wrong is going to be spread all over the newspapers. This is unconscionable. We cannot let that be the standard here in Washington, D.C. This is all we are really talking about is upholding the standards, the standards that were written down by our Founding Fathers in that Constitution.”
