Orrin Hatch: “this has to be one of the most hypocritical White Houses in this century. And that is really saying something. Frankly…”

“this has to be one of the most hypocritical White Houses in this century. And that is really saying something. Frankly, I think it is abominable, absolutely abominable. And my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are attempting to retry Mr. Dale right here in the Senate. Senator Levin, the distinguished Senator from Michigan, is even suggesting that Billy Dale should have been found guilty. Fortunately--fortunately--our system calls for a more equitable fair process. Mr. Dale has been tried by a jury of his peers, and he was acquitted in less than 2 hours. I think there is a principle called double jeopardy. I am really amazed that after this man was smeared by the White House--for greedy purposes, to help their buddies, the Thomasons, and their relative, Ms. Cornelius--was put through an abysmal trial that cost him $500,000. And this outfit is acting like something should not be done. I found the White House critical in this issue, and that is an understatement. The fact is, these people were smeared. They were treated improperly. They were abused. The FBI was abused, and it was all done for the purposes of greed, so they could take care of their buddies. The fact of the matter is, if you look at what has happened here, it is just pathetic.…”
