Orrin Hatch: “I have to tell you that I do not think anybody can come to the floor and say the White House in this instance did not do…”

“I have to tell you that I do not think anybody can come to the floor and say the White House in this instance did not do an injustice here; that they did not try to use the force of Government, the FBI, the Justice Department, and others to take apart a very, very good person, and others working with him who have worked for both Republican and Democrat administrations and to do it to take care of their own people. I have to correct the record with regard to that. I do not think anybody doubts that. It is pretty much admitted. Even the President said he would sign this bill. That was not easy for him because he was in essence saying that he recognized that this is terrifically wrong and that his people in the White House did it. This is what happened, on May 19, 1993 the White House fired all seven of these people. At least two of the individuals learned of their dismissal in the evening news that night.”
