“I want you to know that the Office of Independent Counsel can indict my dog, they can indict my cat, but I'm not going to lie about the president, ... I'm not going to lie about the first lady or anyone else. My wife and I are innocent of the charges that have been brought today.”
Webb Hubbell
“I can't say I hate cats, but holy cow, dogs are a horse of another color.”
“The Independent Counsel has sought, again, to prosecute Ms. McDougal, and this indictment will now be tried to a jury. Independent Counsel Starr, through his public relations officer, has seen fit to assert that the president, by his public statements, has somehow improperly 'injected' himself into the investigation of Ms. McDougal. This claim is wholly false. The president's statements have been both accurate and appropriate. Ms. McDougal has at all times been represented by her own counsel. It is for the public to judge what the Independent Counsel's motivations may be.”
David Kendall
“[On a personal level, the indictment was hard on Cheney's office.] People were very upset, ... They all felt close to Scooter personally, but I think by [Monday] afternoon, they were going about their jobs, doing what they had to do.”
Charles Black
“When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House, the Office of the President is defiled. No citizen can take pleasure from that.”
Christopher Wolf
“Ronnie Earle didn't indict him. The grand jury indicted him.”
William Gibson
“My lord, I have some matter of law relating to the indictment, and I desire counsel to speak to it.”
William Kidd
