“This editorial said: Democrats want to keep the committee on a short leash by extending hearings to April 3rd with a final report to follow by May 10th. A limited extension makes sense, but an unreasonably short deadline does not. Five weeks may not be enough time for the committee to do a credible job. Instead, the Senate should give the committee more running room, but aim for ending the entire proceeding before summer when the campaign season really heats up. That would argue for permitting the probe to continue through April or early May. And, of course, we had suggested April 3. I know the Senator has quoted some editorials that say go on with this thing. There are other editorials, of course, which take just the opposite point of view.”
