Louis J. Freeh: A betrayal of trust by an FBI Agent-who is not only sworn to enforce the law, but
specifically to help protect our nation's security-is particularly abhorrent. This kind of criminal conduct represents the most traitorous action imaginable against a country governed by the rule of law. It also strikes at the heart of everything the FBI represents: the commitment of over 28,000 honest and dedicated men and women who work diligently to earn the trust and confidence of the American people every day.
FBI Oath: I do solemnly swear to support, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to obey the lawful orders and directives of those appointed before and above me, and that I enter into this office without any mental reservation whatsoever, so help me God.
