I don’t think that investigations\ninto federal misconduct have anything to do with our economy\u2026 In any\nadministration, no matter what party the president is from, if such dysfunction\nhappened, congress would have a requirement to really investigate those things\nand without doing so, we’d be abdicating our responsibility.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
