Chris Coons actually said...

"the ability of a special counsel to conduct an independent investigation of the President is foundational to the rule of law."

"If there is an allegation of Presidential wrongdoing, a congressional inquiry should take precedence over the criminal investigation, including an investigation of any Presidential associates."

"the independent counsel statute was 'a goo-goo post-Watergate reform'"

"I urge you to answer our questions and to confront these significant challenges. These are weighty questions, and the American people deserve real answers."
