1. An hour ago, I resigned as State's Attorney of Cook County.

*Resign: to officially announce that you have decided to leave your job or an organization.

-She resigned from the governance last week.

-He resigned as Governor of Punjab in August.

-Tom has since resigned hes membership of the golf club.

2. I did this with a heavy heart and a deep commitment to fight these scurrilous charges.

*Scurrilous: formal word for scurrilous remarks, articles etc contain damaging and untrue statements about someone. 

-A scurrilous attack on his integrity.

I want to be clear.

I have never abused my office.

*abuse: to deliberately use something for the wrong purpose o for your own advantage.

-Williams abused his position as Mayor to give jobs to his friends.

-Morris abused the trust the firm had shown in him.

-people who abuse the system

I have never traded lighter sentences for financial or sexual favors.

At the same time, I need to atone for my personal failings with my wife, Alicia, and our two children.

The money used in these transactions was mine and mine alone.

No public funds were ever utilized.

But I do admit to a failure of judgment in my private dealings with these women.

Alicia and I ask that the press please respect our privacy.

Give us time to heal.

With the love of God, and the forgiveness of my family, I know I can rebuild their trust.

I want to thank the people of Chicago.

It has been an honor to serve you.

And I pray that one day, I may serve you again.

Thank you.

Sir! Are you still involved with prostitutes, sir? How many were there, sir? Will you ever try to

hold public office again? Sir! Answer the question! We have interviews set up with the Tribune

and Channel Four.

Absolutely not.

I'm not doing any more interviews.

I want you to cancel all of them.

That's it.

I'll tell Channel Two we don't have a comment at the present time, but we emphatically question the authenticity of this thing.

Hey.

You all right? 

Mrs. Florrick, how long have you known your husband was having an affair? How are you going to protect your children?
