Avril Haines actually said...

"The fact that you have not allowed those events to interrupt the work of the Committee on behalf of the American people..."

"We are expected to produce apolitical, unvarnished intelligence to the President-elect."

"there are going to be moments when you--in your analysis--your agency's analysis is going to differ from the policy proclivities of the Administration."

"I particularly appreciate your holding this hearing today in the light of the searing events of the last two weeks."
