"It's so jarring to hear recent reports of White House officials... attempting to interfere."

"the American public deserves to get the answers to these questions."

"If the President is asking you to intervene or downplay--you may not have felt pressure, but if he is even asking, to me that is a very relevant piece of information."

"If any of this is true, it would be an appalling and improper use of our intelligence professionals. An act, if true, that could erode the public's trust in our intelligence institutions."
