Repeat it out loud. Remind yourself that it's true:
"It is not illegal to criticize the President of the USA."
"It is not illegal to accuse the President of crimes."
"It is not illegal to work against the political agenda of the President."
These are true as long as we remember they are true.
"It is not illegal to criticize the President of the USA."
"It is not illegal to accuse the President of crimes."
"It is not illegal to work against the political agenda of the President."
These are true as long as we remember they are true.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
