My colleagues have been so, my colleagues are nicer than I am. I'm going to be real. They've used words like cover up, choice. For me, it's obstruction of justice. It's real clear. And that's just the lawyer in me. This is pure obstruction. Anyone else that would engage in this type of behavior would be charged with obstruction of justice, yet somehow because it's the Department of Justice, the ones that are supposed to enforce justice and law in this country.
