Todd Tiahrt: “the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight would like to grant immunity to Nancy Lee, Larry Wong, Irene Wu…”

“the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight would like to grant immunity to Nancy Lee, Larry Wong, Irene Wu and Kent La and get their testimony so that Congress can learn the facts about illegal campaign contributions in the 1996 presidential election. The Justice Department does not oppose the granting of immunity to these four key witnesses, but the Democrats on the committee refuse, refuse to grant immunity to these four witnesses. How can this be defended? It cannot. This is the same people who cry partisanship whenever any investigation into the allegations of wrongdoing are investigated and the same people who are not only defending the White House stonewalling but now stonewalling their own Justice Department. I must grant the Democrats this, they really do know how to play hardball, but this is the same people who have tried to destroy the reputations of Judge Robert Bork and Judge Clarence Thomas and now Judge Ken Starr are now the same people who stand silent and motionless in the face of massive evidence of White House stonewalling and round-the-clock spin. Stop the stalling and stop the spin so the American people can get to the truth.”
