Deliver some more facts on the core allegations. i am not satisfied with the scope of who was questioned. i expected there would be follow-on investigations, questioning of corroborating witnesses so that, for example, if debbie ramirez was questioned and at the end of her questioning she said, here's a dozen people who can offer corroborating testimony, i had expected that those sorts of interviews would take place. i know people have contacted my office. many other senate offices who were trying to get to the fbi, who were offering to be interviewed and who were not interviewed. >> senator, ...

Misconduct. you said there were issues raised. given the fact that some republicans are characterizing this fbi material, what can you tell us about it? >> well, first of all, those characterizations to me are tantamount to a sham, purposing a sham on the american people because there are clearly many witnesses, people that could have corroborated what ms. ramirez said, people that were eyewitnesses to what ms. ramirez said that weren't even interviewed. i just want to take you to that room for a second. the whole process was to me -- again, i'm considered what's a young senator here for just ...
