I know that Duke made a number of demands, including that the attorney general drop its investigation. We have no intention of asking the attorney general to do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I couldn't do that as attorney general. Why? Because they are my clients. You can't say they're not doing what they ought to be doing when you are the attorney general.
While I'm the Attorney General, we will address each issue with one question: What's the right thing to do?
The Attorney General is not above the law.
The attorney general should be enforcing the law, not policy.
Each investigation team has a lawyer attached to it and there was a lawyer attached to me and my assistant.
I was assigned to do a job by the attorney general, and that was to find out whether crimes were committed.
As attorney general, I can either look into it or I can ignore it because they're a bunch of powerful legislators... and I'm afraid they're going to cut my budget.
In due course, following an additional debriefing, the FBI confirmed to me and to my former counsel, Tom Carter, that I was not a suspect in this case. I assumed that my involvement in the investigation was over.
I would be loath to speak ill of any person who I do not know deserves it, but I am afraid he is an attorney.
Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.
