Is there not a single Democrat in this House that is offended by the fact that the White House has hired private investigators to look into the private lives of Federal investigators and smear their political enemies? Is there not a single Democrat in this House that is even bothered that the Independent Counsel is being publicly smeared and vilified by the White House attack team in open violation of the law? Is there not a single Democrat in this House that does not find repugnant the tactics used by the White House spin machine to attack its accusers using tactics that would have made Joe McCarthy proud? Is there not a single Democrat that has had enough of the lies and stonewalling and routine destruction of lives and reputations of any and all who dare to investigate what Attorney General Reno herself has said requires investigation? It was discovered that the White House was illegally in possession of 900 FBI files, all just happen to be Republican, and no one knows anything? Is there not someone on the other side who will speak up about all the abuse by the White House?
