interview the real targets they already know the story and then they test what you say against what they say. i hate this particular analogy because i abhor violence, but it is tightening the noose, right? you start off really wide and get smaller and smaller and smaller. if you are in the end game, you are the target. if you have had trump in your last name, you haven t been interviewed yet, that would scare the people with trump in their last name. as a prosecutor, you don t want to interview someone until you know the answers to the questions because you can get them with lying and perjury. and one of ken star s last interviews was bill clinton. so you wait until the end. that reminds me actually of roger stone. he s also not been, yeah. close confidant of paul manafort since the 1970s. if there was a channel that stone was communicating with the trump campaign, it was likely through paul manafort.
animus towards the president and towards the trump organization. and i have to say there s some division within the legal team about the importance of this, but i have heard that the president finds it disconcerting. just as he finds it disconcerting that several members of mueller s team have given money to democratic candidates, and hillary clinton included. is this customary? is it customary? because we ve heard from some of our guests that, guess what, bill clinton did the same thing and tried to look into, you know, ken star s legal team and find out if they were conservative leaning. so is this just kind of doing due diligence? absolutely there s a feature of it that is absolutely due diligence and the norm. but as you have experienced in trump world there s a brashness and a direct frontal assault that s a little bit different about this. you know, there are teams of people talking about how bob mueller is engaged in a which hunt and is continuing to press on the president.
