It's important to understand, senators, that the rules and the methodology for criminal searches are inconsistent with the collection of foreign intelligence and would unduly frustrate the president in carrying out his foreign intelligence responsibilities.”

I mean, they dont want to see a first-round draft pick be a bust, so I feel I have to come in and hopefully make an impact early.”
