they couldn t find enough people to work for them. and it s not surprising given the chaotic manner and the way this is run. people don t want this on their resume right now and especially if you are a high level person seeking a cabinet position you run the risk that your reputation will be smeared. if this could happen to mattis and tillerson, it can happen to you as well. yeah, and we ve seen everyone, as rick wilson says, everything trump touches dies, but a lot of people s reputations, h.r. mcmaster a great example, a sterling reputation going in, accomplished scholar and writer and military man, unceremoniously bounced on his way out. the other component, lynn, having covered government divide in the past, they just know there s a ton of subpoenas and investigations and they re going to be hauled before the hill. and lord knows what kinds of trouble you might end up mixed up in if you take a job in this administration. well, that is true. now, this is not unique to the trump
many of the key details she doesn t remember herself. you can t say i wasn t at this party at this date in 1982. she doesn t know where it happened. what we ll have an opportunity for both sides to be heard, to tell their story, judge kavanaugh said he s looking forward to being able it refute the allegations. you ll have opportunity both sides to ask questions. it s going to come down a judgment of the credibility of each of these individuals. i do think when you have a situation like he said she said, you have to take into account the character, witnesses. we ve seen lot that going through this whole process. everyone that was talking about judge kavanaugh s sterling reputation, you had the a.v.a. his integrity, it s an a plus plus. we have 65 women who knew him since high school an, including several women who dating him and one who was dating him at the time.
he served in the military. he served in the justice department. always somebody willing to sacrifice fame and fortunate in order to go back and serve justice. i can t really imagine anyone from really imagine from my 25-plus years in the justice department who had a more sterling reputation for integrity. and rudy giuliani of all people who served in certain administrations a long time mueller he knows this. it is another lie coming were the administration. the goal is to run a pr campaign so that the american people will not believe mueller s report or criminal convictions he obtains in prison. and it s shameful. and i guess my point is, the trump era will end. i guess rudy giuliani has enough money that what makes you say that? well at most he will be president for seven more years. and the trump era will end and rudy giuliani will have called bob mueller someone who ran a kangaroo court.
