Tucker Carlson: “His allies in Congress gave the commission weak subpoena…”

“On November 27th, 2002, President Bush, fearing major political blowback if he vetoed the commission, signed the bill into law. But he managed to neuter the commission in the process. His allies in Congress gave the commission weak subpoena power and limited them to a strict 18 month timeline. They appropriated for the entire investigation, just $3 million. By Washington standards, it was nothing. But by comparison, Congress gave 13 times more funding to investigate the Monica Lewinsky scandal.” (09:48–09:55)
