EXCERPT:
SHARPTON: “You know, I thought about this as I was looking through the indictment last night, and I grew up and started my activism in a section of Brooklyn called Brownsville. And walking to the subway, many mornings, some of the guys in the neighborhood say, 'Rob, I caught a case.' I have never walked down that block. And somebody said, 'I caught three cases.' I mean, this is just as low as it gets. I've never heard of three cases on one individual in three jurisdictions. So this is serious. But on the other side of it, one day our children's children will read American history. And can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they could stay in power. That's what we're looking at. We're looking at American history, and how it will play out is going to be very important.”
