In reply to the discussion: Top Democratic senator...: 'This may very well be the most important thing I do in my public life' [View all]Amaryllis
(11,204 posts)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 cant have open hearings without compromising sources and methods. Dont ever let a politician tell you that you have a choice between security or liberty. Youre entitled to both.

OP
As long as they put political party, and their draconian agenda ahead of America nothing will happen

Obama may have been thinking that many of the investigations' sources could end up dead.
