I have no reason to lie and every reason not to. If I do lie, I will be prosecuted.

As I say, I'm a discourse advocate. What form it comes is less important to me than the fact that there is discourse.

My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.

I was never promised any special treatment or consideration for fingering star players. I was never coerced to provide information against anyone. All that I was ever told to was to tell the truth to the best of my ability. And that is what I have done.

I have been accused of something I'm not guilty of. How do you prove a negative? No matter what we discuss here today, I'm never going to have my name restored. But I've got to try and set the record straight.

The shouting and opinion and jokes don't exist if there isn't first a story.

People can say anything they want to. If they don't want to get the news from me, get it from somebody else. It's not something I'm going to worry about, I'm sorry.
