“I think, as this editorial from my hometown newspaper points out, this is from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Saturday May 9th, ``Our opinion: Burton unfit to lead Clinton probe. It is no wonder that even some Republicans want Burton replaced.'' If we wanted to just center it on the difficulties that our colleagues on the Republican side were having, we would just say, keep him in that chair, let him continue that investigation, because there is no credibility. I have said that for months. This committee has no credibility. But I think this is an issue where we have to go beyond our party identification and say, this is a waste of money to have this person run this investigation. We have spent literally millions of dollars on this investigation and it simply does not have any credibility. I want us to have a fair investigation. I think that there have been problems. I think that there have been problems on both sides of the aisle, and I think there is a duty for us to investigate those.”
