I am not afraid.
And I believe in an independent federal judiciary.
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence, and a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
But I was also inspired by the example of the career people who refused to be part of this travesty.
It cost some of them their jobs, which is painful, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price.
And I know they will serve again.
I was very lucky that some of the best lawyers in America stepped forward to represent me.
I hope they serve as an example to more and more lawyers, especially at some of the big firms, to participate in protecting our liberty, protecting the rule of law.
When I was a kid, my parents would wake us up for school every morning by snapping open the shades and saying, time to rise and shine and show the world what you're made of.
Well, it's that time, America.
It's time to stand up and show the fools who would frighten us, who would divide us, that we're made of stronger stuff, that we believe in the rule of law, that we believe in the importance of doing things by the law.
So stand tall, shine, and keep the faith.
I can only speak to my testimony.
I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.
My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump.
But we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.
We will not live on our knees.
And you shouldn't either.
Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant.
And she's right.
