Political Quotes

“I really do not understand a lot of things. I do understand the frustration, because it does seem like an inordinate amount of time has been taken with this investigation, but we have had three U.S. attorneys, one appointed by a Republican, one appointed by a judge, and now a Democratic U.S. attorney who has all the credentials that would ensure that we are going to have a complete investigation, so nobody could suggest that it is being dragged out because of political reasons. That is ridiculous. It is nonsense. The Members know that. One of the reasons why the U.S. attorney, three U.S. attorneys, believe that we should defer to them is because we could mess up, we could mess up, once again, an ongoing criminal investigation. I do not care how we couch it, that is exactly what the U.S. attorney has done. One of the things that I am sure the U.S. attorney does not want to do at this point is, he does not want to identify targets of the investigation, because they are now interviewing witnesses, they have granted immunity at this point beyond what has already been testified, to Rota. He has already pleaded guilty, and they are going to have to grant other immunity, I would assume, to complete the investigation.”
