"I don't know whether we're ever going to be able to answer that question, whether it was illegal for them to do what they were doing," Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) said during the House's first hearing on the topic Wednesday. "I don’t know if it was illegal … but it was immoral, what was seen on that video." […]

"The issue is not whether there's been a crime committed or not," Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas.) told the same group at the hearing. "This issue is whether or not taxpayers should fund Planned Parenthood. That's the issue before this committee."

...

They just don't care about the facts. How much do they not care? Enough that a top Republican, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), admitted in the hearing that was supposedly about the issues raised in the videos, that they had not seen and were not interested in seeing the actual, unedited videos from Center for Medical Progress.
