Sheldon Whitehouse actually said...
With respect to January 6th, I`d like to make sure that you are willing to look upstream from the actual occupants who assaulted the building in the same way that in a drug case you would look upstream from the street dealers to try to find the kingpins, and that you will not rule out investigation of funders, organizers, ringleaders, or aiders and abettors who were not present in the Capitol on January 6th.
Context
Senator Whitehouse emphasizes the importance of investigating those who organized and funded the January 6th Capitol attack, beyond just the individuals who physically assaulted the building.
