ONGOING WHITE HOUSE INVESTIGATION
(Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, 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?
