We'll be right back.

There was a period of time where I was watching the news every day just to see, you know, what could lead up to my potential termination.

That's not a way that I want to live my life.

It's not how

And so we were investigating government employees who were misusing their position.

And then on top of that, we also worked congressional cases, Senate cases, judicial cases.

I think I knew that there was going to be a lot of eyes on the investigation, but it wasn't any different than anything else we worked in the sense that you need to follow the rules.

You need to follow policies.

You have to get approval for certain things.

Like the case is a case.

It was hard to see two outstanding people terminated.

My letter said, you know, due to my lack of judgment and lack of impartiality that led to the political weaponization of the government.

And to me, what that meant was you were on this investigation and we're firing you for it.

I just kept thinking...

You know, this life that I had, that I enjoyed, that I loved, the people that I was able to help, the justice that I was able to get for individuals, it's over.

It's about holding the government accountable for doing the right thing, the way we hold ourselves accountable for doing the right thing.

Yes, we are seeking reinstatement.

We are seeking the due process that we were not afforded during this process.

That is one of the goals of the lawsuit.

Absolutely.
