Do you really cleanse the office as provided in the Constitution or do you use the Air Wick of a censure resolution? ... A censure is something that is a device, a way of avoiding ... an up or down on impeachment.
as we enact these reforms, we must exercise some care in avoiding unforeseen consequences.
I think a lot of people wish we would just go away, ... But we can't. We're going to see this thing through until they shut the door on us.
without cooperation from the White House and committee Democrats, who have consistently advocated strict time limits.
Our power has the grave liability of rendering our theories about the world immune from failure. But by becoming deaf to easily discerned warning signs, we may ignore long-term costs that result from our actions and dismiss reverses that should lead to a re-examination of our goals and means.
I think if we get into the middle of next week and the personnel are still being held, the intensity of this and the danger escalates,

The President's grand jury testimony and televised address have raised renewed speculation about future actions of the Congress and the House Judiciary Committee in particular. If the Independent Counsel has any substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment, he has an explicit statutory duty to send a report to the House. If and when the Independent Counsel sends such a report, it is reasonable to expect answers to many as yet unanswered questions. It is our Constitutional duty to provide a fair, full and independent review of these facts in their proper context. Until then, we simply should not speculate about how the House would proceed.
We don't want to be accused of politicizing this ... but we will be doing a lot of planning and interviewing and whatever's necessary to have hearings after the election,
