Watching @judiciarydems.senate.gov yesterday as they easily roped Pam Bondi into into lying under oath to Congress yesterday reminded me watching Mike Wallace catch John Ehrlichman in lies about the Watergate break-in.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

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..
