“Well, the Intel Committee in a bipartisan fashion, the Senate Intelligence Committee, has asked to look at the affidavit. I hope that will be granted because there is supposedly classified information involved.”
“But I want to echo what most Republicans have been saying.

“Every Republican should be suspicious of what has happened in the past, happening again. So, we need the affidavit.”
“Show your cards. Merrick Garland can’t have it both ways. He can’t give us the inventory, the warrant without telling us why it was necessary to raid the former president’s home and there was no less intrusive method available.”

“The affidavit should help us understand what happened here. Without the affidavit we’re flying blind in the dark and the American people are going through too much pain, too much heartache on this endless effort to destroy Donald Trump.”
“It is time for the Department of Justice, they have no more benefit of the doubt in my view, to turn over the affidavit so all of us can look at it. At a minimum, give it to the Intel Committee and Judiciary Committee so you have senators on both sides look at it.”
