He came, he spoke, and he dropped the mic. This man is all business. Much respect.

This is what professionalism looks like . No hyperbole, no fancy wordplay, only facts !

[rolandeleclaire]

What a blessing of a man. Thank you eternally for all you've accomplished.

[thomastammaro]

WOW!!
Finally, someone with the intellect and the balls to push back on this loudmouthed whimp and hold him accountable.☠️

[jeffreybabor]

That was the most professional speech I have heard on the news probably ever!No whining, crying, beating around the bush, just down to the facts of the case and why it is so important to keep classified documents classified

[lillyfitzgerald]

This man is no fool. I have a lot of respect for him and know that he has credibility beyond that which Trump could even imagine.

[companymule]

Thank you sir!! Nobody is above the law!!

[EyeAmSpiritual]

Short but to the point- This man is all business- its taken him years to get here- and I am applauding each step along the way!

[barbarachandler]

Yay! He speaks volumes! He manages to keep The Mystery that surrounds him!

[zoeydeu]

This man oozes authority, competence, seriousness and integrity. I like it. The complete opposite of the accused.

[scotts]

This man deserves the utmost respect and applause. Aside, He will need protection for all of his staff and family due to the domestic and possibly foreign enemies. Let this process of his job be of nothing less than 100% success. No one is above the law in this country.

[cdubya]

Listen up, when a man of few words speaks.
Every sentence was planned and executed with reasons, logic and law.

[biohazardbutterfly]

Sad that this was allowed to happen. We knew he was unintelligent, belligerent, show off who listens to nobody. I hope he is found guilty and this chapter over

[bettyganje]

Thanks for taking on the most important prosecution in modern history. You and your team are heroes. Thanks for your service. 👏👏👏
