Miller described the attacks as "a typical Democratic operation. The Justice Department, the Army, the Internal Revenue Service, and every other bureau of Government are doing nothing these days except trying to investigate Senator Goldwater and myself. They're trying to get me off Humphrey and Johnson and make me defend myself for the rest of the campaign. I will not be diverted into a waste of time answering sleazy, unsubstantiated smears." Added Barry Goldwater: "Bill Miller's honesty is beyond reproach. The smears against him have my utter contempt."
