"We congratulate the panel of prosecutors for their professionalism, and we are hopeful that the DOJ will exhibit the same kind of impartiality and neutrality in the other pending cases against my client now pending before it. Such decisions will definitely go a long way in dispelling from the minds of the public recent doubts that the DOJ is being weaponized to suit the political agenda of certain groups and individuals."
