Political Quotes

“First, everyone should understand that the Congress has an important oversight responsibility and the Congress will meet that responsibility. That is not in dispute. The only question is whether the Congress proceeds to engage in a political circus for the political benefit of our Republican colleagues or whether it conducts its oversight responsibilities in a serious manner and one which will not undermine the independent investigation of a special counsel who is now conducting what all concede to be a thorough, impartial investigation. That is the only issue. Any implication that Congress is not meeting its oversight responsibility just because it does not rush into a political circus right now is wrong. The way to meet our responsibilities and to permit the special counsel to meet his responsibilities is to have congressional oversight conducted in a serious and responsible way, not in a political circus.”
