Political Quotes

“I don't think we're suggesting we give them to anybody else, and I gather we do agree in the given instance given the circumstances of the appointment of this special counsel to do things which he said would interfere, and, as we know, it's not just immunity that can interfere, but it is witnesses hearing what other witnesses say, it is having things done in public which ought to be done in private, it is having interviews at one level when they are being conducted privately at another. I do think that it is very important, given the circumstances of this special counsel when he was appointed, that we not be interfering with what the special counsel does, and, therefore, I think it is appropriate that the resolution says we will work together, both sides, in good faith to come up with a format for hearings that will not interfere with the special counsel because, having appointed him, having led to having put pressure on to appoint him, having seen his appointment, now to undercut him now I think would be an illegitimate action.”
