Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : In an interview aired on NBC's Meet the Press on September 17,5 the defendant answered questions for more than an hour, and said, among other things:o That the Georgia Secretary of State, a witness identified in the indictment, recently said things that he had not, including that the defendant "didn't do anything wrong" during a phone call constituting an overt act in the indictment;
44% : In his opposition, the defendant makes light of some of his previous attacks on witnesses -- some of whom are federal and state government figures in their own right -- by stating that such witnesses do not "sh[y] away from a hearty public debate with [the defendant]" and were not intimidated by the defendant, or by implying that government officials somehow have asked for his attacks because they "have made politics, for all its discord and discourse, a large part of their lives."
