Quotes
CJ: "At this time, we can not, we are not releasing any information whatsoever about the suspect."
Steve: "CJ, can you tell us anything, his name, where he's from, ethnicity, if you guys suspect a motive?"
CJ: "Yes, Steve. I can tell you all those things because when I said we weren't releasing any information whatsoever I meant except his name, his address, his ethnicity and what we think his motive was."

Ron: (to Toby) "It wasn't your fault. It wasn't Gina's fault, it wasn't Charlie's fault, it wasn't anybody's fault, Toby. It was an act of madmen. You think a tent was going to stop them? We got the President in the car. We got Zoey in the car. And at 150 yards, five stories up, the shooters were down 9.2 seconds after the first shot was fired. I would never let you not let me protect the President. You tell us you don't like something, we figure out something else. It was an act of madmen. Anyway, the Secret Service doesn't comment on procedure."
