Notable Quotes 2
We respectfully submit that Mr. letter alone demonstrates the degree to which the record of facts have been distorted and these distortions have permeated this unprecedented investigation.
We never made such a claim. To the contrary, we argued that sworn statements we have taken of the alleged victims demonstrate that law enforcement has presented versions of their testimony that are necessarily sensationalized and fictionalized.
