You never had much to say, did you? That is not a statement, it is a pause. You should have stood up for what was right, you are just as guilty for letting yourself be abused like that. Where was your professional integrity, even though you were not elected but selected, you should have still acted in the best interest of the people. 'Sa ou faire, sa ou wear'( Sorry Kweyol People) Rick Wayne that spell for me

Sir I just cannot find anything to say in your defence. It was your decision to be a patsy for the government for a hefty monthly salary.
You confirmed my impression of you as being weak and unprincipled. This statement begs the question, If you were ask by the government to maliciously prosecute a government opponent would you have done it under the guise of "following orders"?

There is the morality of disobeying an unlawful order I wonder if you would have had the courage of your convictions to choose that path.

I'm sorry to say that you are a disgrace to your profession and have done irreparable harm to your professional integrity with that statement. I would not hire you to represent me in a dog biting case.

Are you going to sue your governmen, too?

Why don't you, isn't that the norm in your government. Hasn't the precedent set by other questionable uwp govenment minister? Start the dice, idiot!!

I gleaned this statement from the editorial of the Trinidad Express newspaper:

"The Constitution defines the Attorney General as "responsible for the administration of legal affairs in Trinidad and Tobago and legal proceedings for and against the State". The AG is essentially the legal adviser to the Government, with a duty to ensure that the administration upholds the laws of the State. In other words, an effective AG may on occasion rein in his Cabinet colleagues, and not slavishly facilitate their political agenda."

I know it's a little late for you Dr. Frederick however the coming AG might want to take the advise therein.
