Commenting on the case of former Senator Joseph Coniglio, Fuller has said: "My first piece of advice to [Coniglio] would be to forget his entire life as a senator, because now he is simply an inmate. And inmates don't care who you are. No longer will he snap his finger and someone will jump for him. He'll be respectful at all times."<ref>{{cite web | author = Peter J.
