Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
My
reaction,
honestly,
is
just
kind
of
deep
sadness.
It’s
a
very
serious
job,
and
it
requires
a
serious
person
who
knows
how
to
build
complicated
cases
and
evaluate
complicated
cases
for
when
they’re
worth
bringing
and
when
they’re
not,
who
can
build
team
loyalty,
because
it’s
a
very
large
institution,
and
people
work
there
because
they
believe
in
the
mission.
—
A
former

Journal,

Gaetz

general
