“I think that is a good point here. What we ought to be focusing on is why are we not having some explanation from the Members that are Members of this House that are driving this situation as to why this continues on. Why is there not some prospect here that a responsible leadership in this House would call on those Members to get down here and say why is it that this committee and this House would allow the kind of subpoena power to go on that has been going on when constitutional authorities have questioned it? Why would they allow this situation to go on when it has this overtone in terms of race? Why would they do that without coming down and explaining? If they say that is not the way it is, if they say there is some valid reason for this process to continue, I think the American people have to a right to hear about it. More specifically, I think the people in that particular district have a reason to know why they are inundated with this sort of nonsense day in and day out, article after article indicating this is nothing but a witch hunt, has no basis in reality, and there ought to be an answer given. I would suspect that there ought to be Members on this floor standing up explaining themselves.”
