We heard about a peaceful transition of power. Youll see that symbolized. How about this as an olive one on the birther movement. Might donald trump apologize to e president.

Let me ask you about your personal future in or outside of government. A couple of your close associations convicted on all counts. Do you think that event and trial will cas a long shadow on you if you would like a role in the trump administrati no. I think the long shadow was c verdict was that they confirmed what i knew and did in juary of 2014 ich was back then i said after 24 hours it is my view that three people are responsible for what happened there. Those three people, after three years of investion, matt, andhe trial, the same three people i fired in january of 14 were the thr people held responsible by the u. S. Attorneys office and that jury. What role do you want in a Trump Administration . I really dont what have you talked about . We have not talked about anything. It is true the was absolutely adamant about not discussing the transition before he was elected. The reports are he didnt want to jinx it. That was part of it.

So we spoke on Election Night but not about me. We spoke about the transition. Staff . You dont really think thats a prnant pause. You dont really think im answering these question. You know me better than that. Im not committed to doing anything in a new administration or not. The bottom line is that i have a ojob t do to help get the administon ready.
