History will be written on the basis of what they brought out and not on the basis of what the loudest voices have been screaming.
Whatever happens with their referrals, that insistence on the truth and that telling of what actually happened is an enormous service to our Democracy and to every one of us.

It is massively disappointing that the media is not honoring all the work they did.
