Let me conclude. I was in receipt of Mr. Lewis's concerns at approximately the end of February or the first of March. I immediately asked my then chief of staff to take this up with the commissioner and determine what additional steps, if any, were being taken in relation to what were clearly serious concerns raised by Mr. Lewis.
I was told through my chief of staff, based on her discussions with the commissioner, that a criminal investigation was going to be launched. That investigation was launched less than a week after I received the information from Mr. Lewis. That investigation took place, and it took a year. It's interesting that Mr. Brown has indicated that although the investigation wasn't independent, he felt it was done appropriately. They had generous resources and it was done in a timely fashion.
Then at the immediate end of that investigation the internal investigation began, which Mr. Brown also indicated was the only viable thing that could have been done at that point.
