Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 14, 1998
the Justice Department, Miss Reno, has now opened a 90-day investigation into testimony of certain members of the President's staff regarding their testimony to the Senate committee, in regards to specific testimony on their involvement in perhaps supporting Teamster efforts through actions in the executive branch, which is frightening. It is one thing to run this through a political organization. It is another now to perhaps bring in executive branch agencies as part of this quid pro quo, if you give us money perhaps we can help you over here. The Attorney General has begun a 90-day investigation into those questions, and we are pursuing those as well. As good as they got at laundering money, because they were good, because almost all of this stuff was not found out until after the Teamsters election, which means we had to throw out the whole election.
