Harry Reid said "The fact is, Miguel Estrada didn't respond to questions that we thought appropriate and didn't divulge information in the form of memos from the Solicitor's Office. The reason he is different than some others who worked in that same office is because we got the full information. For example, we reviewed Judge Roberts off and on for more than 10 years. So he and Miguel Estrada are totally different. The real victim in all of this is Miguel Estrada. I acknowledge that by virtue of the fact that the White House had the theory they were not going to allow questions nor submit information from the Solicitor's Office." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
