Political Quotes

Yes. That is borne out by this fact, I say to the gentleman from Pennsylvania, that indeed even though the Attorney General, the current incumbent, in effect was hedging as to whether or not to appoint a special counsel and was receiving undoubtedly signals from the White House as to what to do or not to do, finally, after denying the need for it, acceded to a special counsel. There would have been no need for that. The hue and cry would have been so overwhelming if a good independent counsel statute had been in effect, that that would have automatically occurred, the Attorney General would have done a preliminary investigation and the court would have appointed him.
