He was a censorious fellow. He was critical then. He would be critical now. You know, i think above the of the donald trump thing, you know, his first reaction would be, what happened to the idea of Public Service . why are we having some guy who thinks his qualification is that he was a businessman . He was very close to the republic and he felt himself if you had asked him, why are you qualified to be president , he would say, because i have served the public selflessly, and that was true. Since i was a young man. He had been a congressman, secretary of state. His own definition of sacrifice and even of heroism all had to do with the idea of i am here for the republic. That is my purpose. And i think he would be sort of saddened and second by this sort of disgust with which people talk about the idea of service.

You are not kidding, but let me say, if you are watching today, thank you. You have made my year. [applause] i want to start today with the simplest of thoughts. An idea that h
The controversial dossier had been corroborated. Memos that dont draw into dispute really anything james comey has said publicly, that the president asked if he could back off the flynn investigation. Unclear if the release of the memos served the purpose the trump allies thought it would. It is clear, they havent changed the president s mind. Overnight he wrote they show clearly that there was no collusion and no obstruction. Wow. Cnns shimon is in washington. The memos were released after i went to sleep. Theyre an interesting read. I was still up, john. I started to read them. Really they give us an insider account of those meetings, some seven meetings that the president conversations that the president had with the former fbi director. And some new details.
