 “Five years ago, I underestimated the breadth and the depth of being a U.S. attorney. I was simply proud and honored to be elected. I leave this job with great respect for the Department of Justice, and satisfaction with what was achieved during my tenure. It has been my distinct honor and pleasure to serve the country we love.” - Bill Killian during his final remarks
