And now for a moment of clarity.

When you take it in the fullest context of what Director Ray said today in his stepping down,

and I solidly applaud the idea and his continual emphasis and use of the rule of law and principle and standing in the principle.

Those are words.

The problem we have had that nobody in Washington actually wants to do what the words require you to do.

Stand on principle.

That means standing firm in the face of the onslaught from Maga and Trump.

That means flipping them the bird for once and telling them to kiss your ass.

That means come at me, baby.

You ready?

Let's do this.

I'm the director of the FBI, right? And you want to dance? Let's dance. I'm here. You want me gone? Fire me. Because that's the principled position. The unprincipled position is what Trump is doing and the way he's doing it. And it just, I don't know what the hell is wrong

with folks in this town, that they just, all the bravado, all the sanctimony, all the crap

that they spew out in private moments, they cannot find a microphone and stand in front of it

and tell Donald Trump to take a leap.

I don't care if you are coming as the next president.

You are not going to do this.

I have a term.

I'm in office for 10 years.

I got three years left.

You want me, boo?

Come at me.
