Ninety-five percent of the work in the attorney general's office is civil litigation and regulatory work, and I think I certainly have a lot more experience in that than most of the folks who have served in the office.
You get a lawyer whether you're in a military tribunal or whether you're in a federal court, number one. The attorney general decided that the court with the biggest - with the greatest venue, with the best jurisdiction was the New York court. That was the right decision to make.
You can't be a practicing attorney without being very disciplined and detail-oriented and having good time management.
The attorney general should be enforcing the law, not policy.
If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.

I sit here as the first African-American attorney general, serving the first African-American President of the United States. And that has to show that we have made a great deal of progress. But there's still more we have to travel along this road so we get to the place that is consistent with our founding ideals.
The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth.
