“I have listened to the majority leader very carefully. I understand the concern he has, and I think some of them are just concerns. But there are a lot of things you can find out without the need for testimony. You get documents. You get the cooperation of the regulators. You might not need any testimony. There might not be any reason to grant immunity to anybody. But a lot of things you can learn. We do not have any power to do anything. Second, as far as I know, the Democrats still control this Congress. They would be in control of any hearings that took place. So I do not think there would have to be much concern. They are worried about somebody trying to embarrass the administration because they are in control in the Congress, and they control the committee. Therein lies the problem. When you have one-party Government, you have the White House and the Congress controlled by one party.”
