Ms. Weatherill is conducting an investigation. She can't be expected to participate in any discussion that would indicate prejudgment of what she's doing, what she intends to hear, or what she intends to conclude. It would be unrealistic of the committee to demand that from her, and I don't think that we should expect to do that. I think she should be free to decline to answer questions in those areas.
