Rep. Conyers' remarks to Judiciary Committee on Gannon investigation

We are here today because we have an Administration that is all too willing to flaunt the law, and a Congress that refuses to investigate even the most serious ethical transgressions. Whether it is torture at Abu Ghraib, sole source contracts with Haliburton, or the outing of a CIA operative, this Congress has been unwilling and unable to ask the hard questions or issue the difficult subpoenas.

[...]

What we have today is a government by fiat, not a system of checks and balances. If we won't investigate this scandal, where will we draw the line? If we don’t act now, when will we say enough is enough?

The answer to that is, we (Congress) won't.

Nice try anyway, John.
