00:00:57.080
Sad day for America, not because they were guilty verdicts,
00:01:02.500
because I can't come out and have an honest, decent conversation with the people of America.
00:01:07.980
People of America, I want you to understand that this is the problem we have right here,

That's the first time that this has ever happened.

00:02:10.260
cannot be compelled, cannot be compelled to testify before Congress.
