10. Sen. Wyden also said there is nothing more important to him than getting to the bottom of this.

“There is nothing more important on my plate than getting to the bottom of this because it goes right to the heart of the legitimacy of the American government. I am prepared to use every single tool I have as a United States senator to get to the bottom of this. This will NOT be swept under the rug. (He said this several times emphatically, to standing ovations.)

I am insisting on subpoena power, open hearings, and am continuing to push to declassify information. You have a right to know this information now. They say it compromises sources and methods to have open hearings. It is baloney that you can’t have open hearings without compromising sources and methods. Don’t ever let a politician tell you that you have a choice between security or liberty. You’re entitled to both. “
