agent. donald trump really liked him. and gave him a political appointment. he was deputy white house chief of staff. so it was slightly different situation. if he comes and testifies under oath, if angle who was the detail leader. the one in the limousine. he actually had the interaction. yeah. let s remember what cassidy said. she said this is a story that tony told her. in front of bobby who never disputed it. she never said it happened just said we will get into him. give me historical perspective here. at the end, the bottom fell out when it came to richard nixon. people realized, i can t do it anymore. i can t defend this guy anymore. particularly with the smoking gun tape. it was clear he was a criminal.
