Bush on Appearances of Criminal Impropriety

CLAIM:
"What is even more important is the duty of public officials to obey the existing laws, and I'm afraid your own record does not inspire confidence."
- George W. Bush, 3/15/00

FACT:
The President and Vice President have both retained lawyers and have been questioned in a criminal investigation into whether administration officials were involved in “what could be a violation of federal law” when they deliberately leaked the name of a covert CIA operative.
