He said something like "we don't hold it against someone for formerly working at the FBI."
“We have an FBI and, and, and, and, and we’re not prejudiced against somebody who’s worked at the FBI. It’s an honorable place to work. And the KGB, I think, was an honorable place to work. And it, it gave people in the former Soviet Union, a communist country, an opportunity to do something important and worthwhile.” —Ted Turner
