ten years after conley, piston said the same thing. when he died october 12, 1870, lee was only one of a large number of confederate heroes and clearly behind some of them. carol said virginians directed postwar efforts to recast robert e. lee as the confederacy great hero. after shedding a tear for bragg, dorn, and sibley, i would suggest to you that this is really insupportable. and wondering how anyone could miss the tsunami of evidence about lee's wartime popularity amongst is own people, army, nation. i am driven to contemplating the 20th century philosophical construction, hanlon's razor, a sort of a core larry to the widely cited positioned agman's razor. suggests what can be adequately explained by ignorance or sloth s. they're not all wrong for the same reasons. pretending that the countless thousands. tens of thousand of confederates who lee statured during the war do not exist is unbelievable. is it driven by malice? i suppose. ignorance? sloth? perhaps. seems to be ample room for all motives distributed in a case as startli

i'm joined by congressman peter welch of vermont and congressman conley of virginia. congressman welch, i'll ask you first. why can't the democrats call witnesses to these hearings? i mean, obviously t-there are key people that need to be heard from, yet the republicans are hell bent for election to hold this vote for contempt in the full house coming up next week. why can't you get people in front of the committee? >> well, ed, you're asking the question we asked chairman issa, and he said he's not going to permit it. he has the authority as chair to prohibit us from doing it. it's very relevant. congressman mika says this is a gun deal by a gun controlled administration. this fast and furious started in the bush administration. this had been going on for years. this is something that was inherited during the obama administration. there's no evidence that the top of the justice department knew about it under obama. there's no evidence whatsoever that president obama knew about it. one of the questions we were asking mr. issa is, look, if you want to get to the bottom

of course, will davis was a state party chairman who had been appointed by john conley was still the party chairman. so if they listened to this on the phone, and they realized what we're trying to do, and their major effort is to try to ensure the nomination of the weakest democratic candidate against nixon, which i think everybody conceded would be mcgovern that year, they certainly would have acted. >> so, luke, have you got all this straight? this is what spencer oliver believes happened. he was calling up all of these state chairman, getting their numbers on the delegates. he believes the nixon folks realized there was this plan to stop mcgovern, was going to stop mcgovern in the state of texas and lo and behold, what spencer oliver believes to this day is that nixon, getting this information, didn't tell former governor john conley at the time, still a democrat, who eventually, of course, switches parties. says, hey, you've got to guarantee that mcgovern gets some delegates at the texas state democratic convention. so quite the -- >> there was a wild, unknown part of this large
