Chaka Fattah: “I think that we all should understand that the American public are not just going to be mere spectators in this…”

On the recordOctober 8, 1998
I think that we all should understand that the American public are not just going to be mere spectators in this masquerade, since we are getting close to Halloween, I guess we want to get there earlier, of a legitimate inquiry. This Congress has conducted dozens upon dozens of investigations of Bill Clinton and his administration. Not one of them would any objective person say has been fair or nonpartisan, and this will not be. But if we got to impeach this President or force him from office, there will be economic consequences for the American people. Let them in on this big secret that they will not just be spectators if we carry on with this charade.
