EXCERPT:
BELLOWS: “I was prepared for the possibility of threats. And I really appreciate our law enforcement and the people around me who have been incredibly supportive of my safety and security. My safety and security is important. So is the safety and security of everyone who works with me. And we have received threatening communications. Those are unacceptable. But regardless, my considerations in this proceeding is to adhere to the process. We are a nation of laws. Maine law required me to hold a hearing and issue a decision, and now it goes to the Superior Court and I will uphold the ruling of the courts. That is the process that we are due. And again, looking at the evidence and the events of January six. It was an insurrection because people attacked not only the Capitol, but also that process of the peaceful transfer of power.”
