GOP Wants Early Impeachment Vote nytimes.com

Another amusing news story on Hyde's professional, non-partisan handling of the hearings.

During a conference call Thursday, Hyde informed committee Republicans that he had dropped the campaign finance matter from the inquiry. The announcement shocked members of his investigatory team when they heard about it through the media, according to a committee official who asked not to be identified.

This source said Republican investigators wanted to pursue the campaign fund-raising issue and even planned to ask a federal judge to allow Charles LaBella, who formerly oversaw the Justice Department's investigation of campaign financing, to testify about grand jury matters in a deposition today.

By the time Hyde's announcement made the deposition moot, LaBella was en route from San Diego to Washington. Investigators scrambled to reach him at a Chicago stopover to curtail the trip, but had no luck.

In telephone interview when he touched down in Washington, LaBella said he had heard about the cancellation on his pager.

''I think they're running for the hills,'' said LaBella, who planned to fly back to California today. The committee picked up the tab for the last-minute, cross-continent trip, he said.

Cheers, Dan.
