"...Rep. Lamar Smith (Texas), the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said, “Today’s filing is a desperate attempt by Democrats to distract attention from their poor record in Congress...." "...Republicans also highlighted Democrats’ decision to spend $250,000 to hire Arnold & Porter to help run the U.S. attorneys investigation..."
