But other Republicans felt the final product was, in Utah Senator Orrin Hatch's words, "too political."

"The best thing that could happen now from Ronald Reagan's standpoint would be indictment and acquittal," says a prominent Republican attorney. "He could then say, 'We were right all along.' " Says Republican Congressman Henry Hyde of Illinois, a fervent Reagan ally on the Iranscam committee: "I oppose any presidential pardon until the gates of the prison are about to clang shut."
