Dating, and the accuser s account. participants included don mcgahn, the white house counsel, the deputy chief of staff, bill shine, press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, and raj shah who is leading communications. and it s so striking that bill shine is in that room. he was at fox news trying to save bill o reilly s job from sexual harassment charges. and he couldn t do that. that s right. and what you have here is clearly a group of people who are focusing on the pub leg relations aspect of the hearing. this is a president used to paying off women so you don t hear the side of the story and running the risk you ll have to deal can her side of the story when he s had to tell his side of the story to congress and can t lie about that or faces legal jeopardy. the reason why the republicans wa want skkavanaugh on the court, he s a loyal republicans. changes his view on presidential
