Political Quotes

“Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for testimony in a criminal case pending in Clark County District Court in Vancouver, WA. In this case, the defendant, a Vietnam War veteran, is charged with harassing two caseworkers in the Vancouver office of Senator Patty Murray. The charges arise out of threats made by the defendant to the two caseworkers. The prosecution has requested testimony at trial from the two caseworkers at issue, both of whom are no longer employed by the Senator. Senator Murray would like to cooperate with the prosecution's request. This resolution would authorize the former employees at issue, and any current employees of Senator Murray's office from whom testimony may be required, to provide relevant testimony, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted, with representation by the Senate Legal Counsel. ____________________”
