i should point out in this cycle, and you correct me if i m wrong, you re a jeb guy that i think has been informally counselling him, i read the e-mails that have been released us in far and i felt a little dirty because it had nothing to do be benghazi. there was a lot of personal stuff. my worry is we re making it difficult for the next public servant to tap their friends and advisors for candid council. take 30 seconds and tell me if you think that is a justified concern. i don t think it is a justified concern. you can tap your friends were council all you want. you can have a conversation with them in a room. if they send you an e-mail about your official duties and about material that you re dealing with as an officer, that is a public record and the public is
