“The only thing that Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee have pressed is for a full investigation, a full inquiry into not just the creation of the intelligence but the use of that intelligence. Without looking at the use of intelligence that was created by the intelligence community, there would only be half a picture painted. Hopefully, that half of a picture will be fully explored on a bipartisan basis. I think the first half of the picture, indeed, is being fully explored on a bipartisan basis. That is the part of the picture that looks at the intelligence community's production of intelligence and as to whether or not that intelligence community in some way either shaped or exaggerated that intelligence for whatever purpose. It has also been now added that if any of the administration put pressure on the intelligence community that would also be included in the review. But what is left out is the critical half of the picture which the American public hears, which is the use of the intelligence given to the policymakers by those policymakers.”
