I didn't defraud the government by taking money that was not mine.

My arrest in Egypt happened in 2002, and I was convicted to five years as a political prisoner.

Your government is no longer mine.

In the end, they pardoned me and packed me off to a home for the shell-shocked. Shortly before the end of the war, I was discharged a second time, once again with the observation that I was subject to recall at any time.

I was a federal prosecutor when we exercised powers under the Patriot Act or under the FISA court.

I only did my duty to my country when I tried to oppose the criminal folly of Hitler.

I was court-martialled in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.

Your commanders have ordered you to storm the White House and to arrest me. But I as the elected President of Russia give you the order to turn your tanks and not to fight against your own people.

I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen.
