Political Quotes

“This is a very good point. I ask the minority leader if he would not agree this is a tremendously important point. I want to point out to my colleagues here and the minority leader that prior to that time, Mr. Poindexter and Mr. North had deleted--this was public information--over 5,000 e-mails. Mr. North had a shredding party at the White House, as reported by the United Press International. Fawn Hall had changed sensitive documents on North's orders, as reported, by the way, all prior to the consideration of abbreviating the hearings. I ask the minority leader--so we have had none of this, by the way, under this present investigation.

Is that not true?”
