“it is becoming clearer with every passing day that one would have to dig to China to get to the bottom of all the campaign finance scandals in this administration. Although, come to think of it, I guess one would actually have to go to China to find all the shady characters who fled the country to escape justice. But even all the tea in China cannot force foreign fundraisers to come to the United States Senate and tell the truth. While some Democratic Senators are gleeful that the Thompson committee is having trouble getting people to cooperate, those responsible Senators who actually care about performing their constitutional duty to find out the truth about campaign finance crimes that may have been committed will continue to probe this sleazy affair. Mr. Speaker, my constituents and yours have a right to know if their elected officials really do believe that they are above the law. It is time to get to the bottom of this; it is time to start digging.”
