On the recordOctober 7, 1998
let me give a few quotes from our President. October 1992, and I quote: I think trust and trustworthiness is an issue in this campaign, and I think I have demonstrated it in my life. In December of 1992 concerning the Iran-Contra pardons the President-elect said: I am concerned about any action which sends a signal that if you work for the government you're above the law or not telling the truth to Congress under oath is somehow less serious than not telling the truth to some other body under oath. October 1995: The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of truth. And June of 1996: The other thing we have to do is to take seriously the role of this problem, older men who prey on under age women. There are consequences to decisions. One way or another people always wind up being held accountable.
