that we have chosen to represent us or are government decisions being made by unelected bureaucrats and are those unelected bureaucrats involved at some level in corruption and i think the history of our country demonstrates that absolutely they are so to me this is the marquee issue and it's a reflection of this broader concern that i have of what i call the globalization of corruption

He's fact-based, he's driven, and he's prepared to name names, which is the key in these investigations. So I expect a lot of activities in the House of Representatives.
