"You accused a Department of Justice official of an extortionist ploy to dangle a judgeship."

"The only way to have a check and a balance on that system is for the Congress to step forward and utilize its tools, the most profound being the power of the purse."

"Understand that to destroy a political rival, you need not convict that person of a crime."

"That accusation could not withstand any scrutiny or review from the Southern District of New York."
