But in a society where you believe in the rule of law, you follow the court's decisions.

And so we analyzed the decision.

And we looked at what sort of evidence we could no longer use and what sort of evidence we could use.

And because and we set this forth in filings because in this particular case, a lot of the evidence was him in his role as a candidate.

We felt we could go forward and we briefed this issue for the court.

And obviously, we never got to a conclusion where we could litigate the ultimate conclusion of that.

But we would not have gone forward.

with the case unless I still felt we could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, just like we wouldn't have gone forward with the case in the first place if we couldn't.

And I guess one point I would want to emphasize there is I think a difference between the work we did and what you're seeing today is in our work, there was no predetermined outcome.

When I took this job, I was perfectly happy to bring this case if the facts and law warranted it or not.

And I've done that throughout my career, and it hasn't mattered what person's political party was to do that.

That's how we went about our work.

Completely apolitical politics did not play a role.

I don't think good prosecutors hope you follow the facts in the law.

And one of the good principles that real prosecutors always follow is the facts matter.

And you don't not go down an avenue because, oh, maybe some facts will come out that will hurt my case.

You go and look at all the facts you possibly can, as searching as you possibly can, because you want to get it right.

That contrasts to what we're seeing today, where there is a predetermined outcome, process doesn't matter, and we just have to find a way to get to that outcome.

And if there's facts that don't fit that outcome,

we don't recognize them.
