I don't like special counsel. But I want a second special counsel to look at all these issues... and figure out exactly what happened.

The dossier was critical. We know this.

I hold up four times where they didn't tell the truth. They didn't tell him that that who would pay for the dossier.

That's what's wrong with this thing. That's what this memo exposes today.

Salacious and unverified is how we describe the dossier. It's taken to a secret court to get a secret warrant to spy on a fellow citizen of ours.

I think one of the big takeaways is the exact same people who ran the Clinton investigation, who had a bias in favor of Clinton, who did all of these things that are not the typical practice when you're doing an investigation, those same…

You had, I'm convinced now, the FBI actively seeking with intent, with a plan, actively trying to stop Donald Trump from being president of the United States.

The vast majority of the FBI are great people doing the Lord's work out there.

You said the FBI was part of an effort to stop Trump from becoming president of the United States.

Commonsense says when you look at the history of Peter Strzok, when you look at what he said in those text messages, if that doesn't show intent.

All I know is what's come out thus far looks pretty bad.

We're going to keep digging to get the answers.

I wish what Rod Rosenstein would do is answer our questions.

What concerns me is the intent to carry out a plan to disrupt the election because as Mr. Strzok said, we can't afford to leave this in we the people's hands.

How do you dismiss the idea that Peter Strzok said we can't afford to let the American people decide who's going to be the next president, we need an insurance policy.

You had, I'm convinced now, the FBI actively seeking now with intent, actively trying to stop Donald Trump from being president of the United States.

I'm convinced now the FBI actively seeking with intent, actively trying to stop Donald Trump from being president of the United States.

There is nothing prohibiting you, Director. Is there anything prohibiting you from showing this committee what was presented to the FISA court?

But I do not think I am. I think that is exactly what happened. And if it did, it is as wrong as it could be. And people who did that need to be held accountable.

If you had the FBI working with a campaign--the Democrats' campaign--taking opposition research, dressing it all up, and turning it into an intelligence document, and taking it to the FISA court so they could spy on the other campaign: if…

It has been reported that this dossier was all dressed up by the FBI, taken to the FISA court, and presented as a legitimate intelligence document.

The Democrat National Committee and the Clinton campaign--which we now know were one and the same--paid the law firm, who paid Fusion GPS, who paid Christopher Steele, who then paid Russians to put together a report that we call a dossier…

If he kicked everybody off Mueller's team who was anti-Trump, I do not think there would be anybody left.

And I'm asking you, doesn't that warrant naming a second special counsel, as 20 members of this committee wrote you 3-1/2 months ago asking you to do?

And it sure looks like a major political party was working with the Federal Government to then turn an opposition research document, the equivalent of some National Enquirer story, into an intelligence document.
