What hypocrites the Democrats are!!!!! They think the Republicans don't remember how they were treated for 40 years in the minority. This is a report on Dow Jones on August 25, 1998: DEMS CRITICIZING HOUSE JUDICIARY DESPITE GINGRICH COMMENTS Though they applaud Newt Gingrich's pledge to set a high standard for any impeachment proceedings, House Democrats are accusing the GOP of stacking the process against President Clinton. Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is first in the line of fire, two Democratic officials said. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the committee's ranking Democrat, plans a letter to Hyde this week, complaining that the Illinois Republican has allowed the committee to hire 14 new GOP aides, while granting Democrats funds for just four. The two officials spoke Monday on condition they not be identified by name. But Republicans on the committee contended that Hyde has been far more generous overall than Conyers was when Democrats controlled Congress and he was chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. Hyde has granted Democrats 22% of the panel's overall staff slots, compared with the 7% Conyers gave the Republicans as chairman of his panel in 1993, according to statistics provided by GOP Judiciary Committee aides late Monday. Conyers' staff argued that 22% for the minority in an investigation of this magnitude was low, compared to investigations of its kind conducted by other panels. But Republican aides said 22% was high for Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. The numbers dispute reflects the partisan discord on the committee that is expected to explode if Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr issues an obstruction-of-justice report on Clinton to the House. Committee members expect such a report in September.
