COOPER Evan it was ░░░░░░░░ interesting to see the ░░░░░░░░ of his interviews with ░░░░░░░░ special counsel that were ░░░░░░░░ earlier today versus what ░░░░░░░░ in the initial report ░░░░░░░░ the special counsel I ░░░░░░░░ wondering what the difference ░░░░░░░░ saw in the way ░░░░░░░░ was described by Hur ░░░░░░░░ the actual transcript itself ░░░░░░░░ was the transcript of ░░░░░░░░ interviews with the special ░░░░░░░░ like the man you ░░░░░░░░ interviewed OSNOS Yeah it ░░░░░░░░ quite remarkable honestly to ░░░░░░░░ the transcript and to ░░░░░░░░ Wait a second This ░░░░░░░░ exactly the person who ░░░░░░░░ saw in the Oval ░░░░░░░░ a few weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ I interviewed him meaning ░░░░░░░░ s sparring with his ░░░░░░░░ He s telling stories ░░░░░░░░ of which I ve ░░░░░░░░ from him going years ░░░░░░░░ others of which are ░░░░░░░░ details of foreign policy ░░░░░░░░ that he s involved ░░░░░░░░ at the moment Look ░░░░░░░░ s really kind of ░░░░░░░░ to compare it to ░░░░░░░░ we were five weeks ░░░░░░░░ You know that was ░░░░░░░░ time when Americans were ░░░░░░░░ wondering is this guy ░░░░░░░░ longer able to remember ░░░░░░░░ date of one of ░░░░░░░░ most significant moments of ░░░░░░░░ life the death of ░░░░░░░░ son and what we ░░░░░░░░ in the transcript is ░░░░░░░░ essential nuance the context ░░░░░░░░ all of those interactions ░░░░░░░░ really makes it much ░░░░░░░░ frankly sort of normal ░░░░░░░░ much more lucid I ░░░░░░░░ COOPER It s interesting ░░░░░░░░ that question on the ░░░░░░░░ because in the transcript ░░░░░░░░ wasn t in the ░░░░░░░░ counsel s report he ░░░░░░░░ the day and the ░░░░░░░░ He was just sort ░░░░░░░░ speaking out loud saying ░░░░░░░░ year was that And ░░░░░░░░ was I mean in ░░░░░░░░ much more conversational way ░░░░░░░░ opposed to sort of ░░░░░░░░ stumbling over what year ░░░░░░░░ was OSNOS Yeah It ░░░░░░░░ a crucial distinction It ░░░░░░░░ something that I think ░░░░░░░░ was not really visible ░░░░░░░░ all in the special ░░░░░░░░ What you see in ░░░░░░░░ transcript and your term ░░░░░░░░ right he was essentially ░░░░░░░░ of thinking out loud ░░░░░░░░ s saying All right ░░░░░░░░ re asking me about ░░░░░░░░ data handling practices at ░░░░░░░░ certain point in the ░░░░░░░░ vice presidency So when ░░░░░░░░ I stopped being vice ░░░░░░░░ All right Well then ░░░░░░░░ s how I handled ░░░░░░░░ back then Here are ░░░░░░░░ people who were moving ░░░░░░░░ for me One of ░░░░░░░░ things that comes through ░░░░░░░░ is this is not ░░░░░░░░ guy who was rooting ░░░░░░░░ boxes a whole lot ░░░░░░░░ his years after being ░░░░░░░░ president He was working ░░░░░░░░ these other things like ░░░░░░░░ book cancer research and ░░░░░░░░ like that.”
