Political Quotes

“the White House has now released statements from some of the political operatives involved in pawing through the confidential FBI background files of hundreds of political opponents. Those declarations are more important for what they do not say than for what they do. Craig Livingstone, the ex-bouncer and political hatchet man who is now being paid not to work, released his carefully lawyered statement saying that if he was asked to obtain FBI background files, and if he did obtain the files, and if he was asked to disseminate to other people the personal information that he learned from those files, and if he did give out that personal information to other people, well, then he did not do so for any purpose he thought was, quote, improper. The statement of course does not say what he defines as improper. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why. They deserve to know what the President means when he says that he takes full responsibility for this outrage, and we need to know why the President is treating Mr. Livingstone so very gentle.”
