I was painted into a really, really, really dark corner. I knew i could not prevail in the federal court system. I knew i would have to find a way to influence the court of Public Opinion, and i knew that would require me to engage the press. Not just Mainstream Media, but alternative press. It was crucial that the truth about my case get out there. But i couldnt no one, all you would think your natural allies, you would think that organizations like the aclu would have come to my defense in a minute. They didnt. In fact, the only organization that actually stuck with me the whole time was the Government Accountability project. And why is that . Well, see, when youre charged with espionage, i even had family members say, well, jeez, you must have done something. Why would the government charge you with espionage . Of course, i was rem

It, the senate would reach a point where we wouldnt be able to function. Well, i thought perhaps perhaps at that time i thought my words were a little apocalyptic. But as it turns out, they werent at all. And so this is a bright day for the United States senate and for our country to finally be able to move ahead on nominations so that any present not just this president , any president can put together his executive branch under our constitution.
