There shall be no "deal" before trial: Monday December 21 4:22 PM ET Sen. Byrd Against Any 'Deal' With White House WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Democratic senator widely respected by both parties for extensive knowledge on Senate history and procedures, said Monday there must be no ''deal'' involving the White House in any impeachment proceedings. ''To a very large degree, we are now navigating in previously unchartered waters, but one thing is clear: For the good of our nation, there must be no 'deal' involving the White House or any entity beyond the current membership of the U.S. Senate,'' Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia said in a statement. ''Whether there is a trial or whether there is some other solution, that decision must be made by senators, and it must be bipartisan or it will have absolutely no credibility with the public,'' Byrd said. Since the House impeached President Clinton Saturday, senators from both parties have pointed to Byrd's opinion as one to follow. Senate leaders have said proceedings toward a trial on the two impeachment articles charging Clinton with perjury and obstruction of justice were likely to start early in the new year after the new Congress convenes. Byrd advised senators to ''go home, take the telephone off the hook, stop speculating, and focus instead on the true spirit and meaning of this Holy Season of Christmas.'' dailynews.yahoo.com. And so it was said, so it shall be done.
