EXCERPT:
Steele: “I’m curious, could you explain or maybe express how is this different, because I’ve been thinking about this case in particular, but some of the others that are very similarly situated, how is this different from when Putin grabs a journalist or some, you know, rogue group in the Middle East grabs an American and we’re sitting here fighting to try to get them back. Our own government did this. Our own government snatched him up and put him in harm’s way, and now refuses to do what it must do and should do to get him back home. Is there any difference in your view as a member of Congress when, you know, you’re sitting here and you’re getting intel and information on individuals around the globe who’ve been taken by — you know, taken hostage by groups and organizations and all this energy to try to get them back? I find we’re doing the exact same thing here in the U.S. now, with our own government. We’re petitioning our government to stop seizing people and grabbing them off the streets and putting them in foreign prisons.”
