Gerald Ford: “Some of my colleague on that side of the aisle do not like our President. Some of my colleagues on this side of the…”

On the recordOctober 8, 1998
Some of my colleague on that side of the aisle do not like our President. Some of my colleagues on this side of the aisle may not like the Speaker. Some of my colleagues on that side of the aisle may not like other colleagues of theirs, and those on this side the same. But that does not give us the grounds to launch an impeachment inquiry. Let us do the fair thing, I say to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde). Let us do the right thing. We all want an inquiry. We all think it is the fair thing to do. But put some time limits, some scope limits. Do the right thing for America. We did it for the Speaker. Do it for this President
