Joe Pitts: “I wonder how these people feel when they hear over and over again from James Carville and the Clinton attack machine…”

On the recordFebruary 12, 1998
I wonder how these people feel when they hear over and over again from James Carville and the Clinton attack machine, who defend ethical outrages that Judge Starr's investigations have 'turned up nothing.' White House tactics bring to mind a tactic known to every trial lawyer: When you have the facts, argue the facts; when you have the law, argue the law; when you have neither the facts nor the law, attack the prosecutor. Nothing to show? Maybe Judge Starr's attackers might want to ask those 13 people what they think.
