On the recordSeptember 9, 1998
This Monica matter is serious, but it pales in comparison to the reports that the White House was bribed with Chinese money. Unbelievable. I do not know if it is true, but I know one thing. Janet Reno has turned her back on both the American people and the Constitution. Let us tell it like it is. Janet Reno should either lead or get out of the way. I say to my colleagues, Monica is a fly on her face. This Chinese money business is a dragon eating her assets. I say, Janet Reno has 2 decisions to make. One is to appoint an independent counsel to scrutinize and investigate this madness, or number 2, Janet Reno should resign. I urge my colleagues to think about it. I yield back the balance of any national security we may have left.
