Doubt Quote by Donald Rumsfeld
“I don't think we'll discover anything, myself. I think what will happen is we'll discover people who will tell us where to go find it. It is not like a treasure hunt where you just runaround looking everywhere hoping you find something. I just don't think that's going to happen. The inspectors didn't find anything, and I doubt that we will. What we will do is find the people who will tell us.”

![“It's been scattered and I had to follow leads. Some stuff was with different family members in various drawers. I find out about more stuff and more stuff [over time]. I won't call it a treasure hunt, but it's like an old Western movie we're you're onto one thing and it turns into another.” quote by Aaron Brookner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a08/aaron-brookner-54373_different_it-s-been-scattered-and-i-had-to-follow_1457110.jpg)
