And as I was flying here last night, we got official word from the Department of Justice that they are, again, for the second time in a year, threatening an investigation, a criminal indictment because of my words said out loud that anyone who violates the law or abuses taxpayer money should be held accountable. So we've been watching the president build a coordinated campaign talking about me yesterday again and the need for legal action.
