James Comey

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.

But I'm not afraid.

And I hope you're not either.

I hope instead you are engaged.

You are paying attention.

And you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it.

which it does.

My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent.

So let's have a trial and keep the faith.

I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.

So your testimony is you've never authorized anyone to leak?

I'm not going to characterize Andy's testimony, but mine is the same today.
