Katie Hines told Agent Timothy McGee, "Bishop is the last person to leak classified documents."
In another moment, Bishop also insisted that she's innocent, but then a judge says on her screen, "We are coming for you, agent."
At the end of the video, Bishop talks to Gibbs and asked him what Rule 91 is. He simply explains, "When you decide to walk away, don't look back."
