The Kentucky Republican cited “institutional unfairness” within the intelligence community, and promised to get answers on the reported abuse under the Obama administration.
“Senate Republicans are taking steps to issue new subpoenas to a wide variety of Obama administration officials," Leader McConnell said. "The American people deserve answers about how such abuses could happen. And we intend to get those answers."
McConnell on GOP efforts to find out who was responsible for unmasking during Obama Admin: No matter what some Democrats may try to claim, you're not crazy or a conspiracy theorist if you see a pattern of institutional unfairness toward this President. You would have to be blind
