Political Quotes

“It was done by a private law firm hired by the FDIC--not Congress, or by Democrats or Republicans--that has expertise in this area. The law firm is Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro, located, I think, on the west coast, using the services, I point out, of a former Republican U.S. attorney, Jay Stephens. They spent $4 million, in addition to the almost $26 million being spent by the independent counsel, the almost $2 million for the committee--and I do not know what the number is in the House--totaling more than $30 million spent on this investigation.

These conclusions are based on after examining those billing records that the people have talked so much about. Their conclusion is to stop it, do not spend another nickel on this, not another red cent. That is the conclusion of an independent body under the leadership of a former Republican U.S. attorney. Stop it. No more money on this.”
