As Benjamin Franklin said "A clear conscience is like Christmas all year long. Welcome Number 5.

You're a national hero. Thank you for your honesty. It is time to have this trial. If Judge Cannon continues to be a Trump supporter, instead of a Constitution supporter, it is time she is disbarred.

Best Line: “I don’t want to live in fear.” Neither do we, Brian. Thank you for doing the right thing. It takes courage to do so, at times. This was one of them. Thanks again.

[amydee]

Thank you, Mr. Butler. You come off very genuine and sincere. Thank you for speaking the truth. Now you see him as I do.

[LOdom-wsxv]

This guy is more honest than the judge overseeing this case.

[basengelblik]

His torn friendship is exactly what is happening to the entire country.

[QuinnPrice]

Thank God for courageous people speaking up. Love this guy.

[wolveswithin]

Hugs to this man. For having the integrity and morals of a human. And the courage to stand up for truth. Maybe one day his friend will realize the error of his loyalty.

#5 comes across as a decent, honest guy, caught up in matters beyond his control. It's good that he's cooperating.

[oscarmendez]

This man deserve a badge of honor. My respect to you sir.

This interview was surreal. It singlehandedly confirms everything Jack Smith and his team allege in their indictment. This man is brave... he has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose. He's already lost a 20yr job, a longtime friendship and his own safety. I applaud him. It's sad that trump's supporters will either ignore it or try to discredit him... or worse.

Wow! This was an outstanding interview. I had a military secret clearance for over 20 years. This interview shocked me to my core.

[sheristewart]

WOW! Brave man, amazing interview.

Thank you, Mr Butler, for your courage and your patriotism 🙏🇺🇸

[grantdixon]

He comes across as a very likeable, honest and sincere man.

[CazJKennedy]

Brave man. Good for him for breaking his silence and coming clean with what he knows.

[KatashiHakake]

You are a brave good man. You are a patriot.
May God protect and bless you Mr. Brian Butler

[gclay]

To all those who claim Trump is a victim…. Time to face reality. I take my hat off to this patriot. May he know what a courageous service his integrity had produced.

[ipris]

Butler: “I refuse to live in fear…we only live here a finite time.” Truth, my friends, is eternal. Hats off to you, brother. Too bad more do t stand up for the truth rather than their jobs and positional status.

[lazymp]

He'll be very glad he testified. In the end, it's everyday Americans who, one by one, reveal Trump's crimes and atrocious behavior. Greatful to all of them. Hope this guy lands on his feet.

[phantomexpress]

What a man of integrity, so glad Brian Butler is not afraid to tell the truth.
