When the administration accuses the Democrats as "not interested in getting the truth ... but instead conducting a political fishing expedition", they once again either miss the point or are avoiding the point. To speak off the record with a few members of congress might indeed suffice to satisfy their own personal curiosities. However this is not about the members of the administration answering to individuals. It is about answering to the citizens of this country. This is not a private corporation that can adjourn to executive session to keep private the details of this "situation" and hide it from the rank and file. The congress is the proxy for "We the People"...and the only way to guarantee what "We" have this information available to us is to have the testimony be sworn, be public and be in the congressional record. If the "testimony" given is not sworn, then it is not testimony at all; it is spin, and we cannot trust it's credibility. Of course we all now know all that if you lie under oath, then the special prosecutor gets a call and the real fun begins.
So let's call on the congressional leadership to move forward on this matter by the book. Otherwise they may as well just all just go off on a golf junket, leaving or perhaps "forgetting" all of the details of the people's business at the 19th hole.
What do you think?
