“investigations into crimes that may have been committed during the 1996 Presidential campaign are about a lot more than taking foreign money. They are a lot more than just the effort to secretly get around the rules that everyone else had to follow and then worry about explaining the misdeeds after the election. No, Madam Speaker, the liberal media attempts to downplay this scandal. These investigations are also about compromising national security, about selling out American foreign policy to the highest bidder and acting in complicity with the Communist Government of China to subvert the democratic process in the United States. I believe that I am correct, Madam Speaker, that both Democrats and Republicans would agree that these charges are truly alarming. In fact, all Americans who believe in democracy, who believe that America should decide who should rule over America and who believe that secret money laundering operations represent political corruption at its most disgraceful, all believe that we must find out the truth about these scandals. Democracy demands it.”
