Hoyer Statement on Former FBI Director Comey's Senate Testimony
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on former FBI Director James Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee:
“Former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony today was illustrative and alarming. His statements speak volumes, and it is imperative that the special prosecutor and Congress’s intelligence committees continue their thorough investigations.
"As Mr. Comey reminded us today: ‘It’s not about Republicans or Democrats. [Russians are] coming after America, which I hope we all love equally. They want to undermine our credibility in the face of the world. They think this great experiment of ours is a threat to them. …Because we remain – as difficult as we can be with each other – we remain that shining city on a hill.’
"The American people deserve the truth, and we must gain a full understanding of Russia’s efforts to undermine our democracy. I repeat my call for Congress to launch an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate Russia’s actions.”
