"I think it is beyond argument that foreign interference with a democratic election is an appropriate, if not compelling, area of inquiry for this committee."

"We want to make sure that we are able to protect the integrity and the results of that upcoming election."

"I think our refusal to investigate is not only disappointing but perhaps shameful."

"If there is any issue out there that is beyond Democrat, beyond Republican, beyond Independent, it is whether or not we enjoy full integrity in our electoral process here in the United States."
