Byron Dorgan: “I do not know all the facts about Whitewater, but I know many of the facts about Presidential ambition. We are told that…”

“I do not know all the facts about Whitewater, but I know many of the facts about Presidential ambition. We are told that Whitewater is a massive scandal of some sort. There is no alleged criminal impropriety by the President in Whitewater that I am aware of. These were not actions that were involved with the term of Mr. Clinton's Presidency. We were told by those who continue to raise this on the floor that there should be a special prosecutor; so there was a special prosecutor named. Now we are told that is not enough, there should be congressional committees investigating it. I just wonder, as I listen to all of this, whether any helping of information or facts would satisfy the political appetites of those out here on the floor of the Senate with respect to Whitewater.”
