Maxine Waters said "Let me just continue here sharing the information of the series because it is so important to understand why we must ask for an investigation. We have not just asked for an investigation because we do not know what we are able to get from whom. We have asked the Justice Department for an investigation, we have asked the CIA for an investigation, we asked the Speaker of this House to get an investigation going with the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. We have asked other committee chairs who we believe have some oversight to join in the investigation. We also have a resolution, or resolutions, asking for a select committee, which we may have to have at some point if we find that we run into roadblocks. It is important for us to go in all of these directions so that we can reap information and get to the bottom of what is going on." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
