"I thought it was my duty to come forward," he said, going on to explain why he joined Shapley:"I thought when we were invited to come and testify in front of the congressional committee, I didn't want to leave my supervisor, Gary, there alone. And I thought it was important that for my credibility, that people hear it straight from me."
"[W]hen you work a criminal case, there's a thing called willfulness: whether someone intentionally with knowledge either evaded their income taxes or filed a false return. And that's what one thing that sets us apart from a civil case. And in this case, we provided a ton of evidence that showed willfulness," he said.He also commented on Assistant U.S.
"And that really was a defining moment for me that said things … aren't following the proper procedure."
