The words are from a U.S. Senator, Saxby Chambliss, who was a lawyer before he entered politics 20 years ago. He threw out Boeing's name when he couldn't provide any direct support for his prior statement. This is standard behavior for US politicians.
It should be noted that the words also perfectly fit the official position of the investigation (of which Boeing is a part of), and therefore could have very likely been said near exactly as Chambliss described them
