lawyer who went to ░░░░░░░░ his country within six ░░░░░░░░ or seven months took ░░░░░░░░ own life Martha You ░░░░░░░░ in a restaurant here ░░░░░░░░ New York City and ░░░░░░░░ look across the restaurant ░░░░░░░░ see someone who looks ░░░░░░░░ lot like Monica Lewinsky ░░░░░░░░ you had never met ░░░░░░░░ me about that I ░░░░░░░░ the story that we ░░░░░░░░ in the west village ░░░░░░░░ a restaurant it was ░░░░░░░░ Eve Christmas eve I ░░░░░░░░ trying to get children ░░░░░░░░ everybody in taxis to ░░░░░░░░ to church for Carols ░░░░░░░░ lessons and there is ░░░░░░░░ I didn t recognize ░░░░░░░░ at first We had ░░░░░░░░ brief but poignant experience ░░░░░░░░ had her description Martha ░░░░░░░░ was it poignant I ░░░░░░░░ here is this person ░░░░░░░░ has lived through so ░░░░░░░░ and I believe was ░░░░░░░░ victim of Bill Clinton ░░░░░░░░ shall I say interest ░░░░░░░░ women and as it ░░░░░░░░ casting them aside Once ░░░░░░░░ relationship was ended Martha ░░░░░░░░ said you made her ░░░░░░░░ a living hell not ░░░░░░░░ You did I understand ░░░░░░░░ perspective but I have ░░░░░░░░ very different perspective She ░░░░░░░░ the opportunity to get ░░░░░░░░ immunity absolutely no possibility ░░░░░░░░ any kind of criminal ░░░░░░░░ of her at all ░░░░░░░░ turned it down She ░░░░░░░░ no She had a ░░░░░░░░ her family provided who ░░░░░░░░ not helpful in the ░░░░░░░░ She remained month after ░░░░░░░░ until finally the family ░░░░░░░░ and I m sure ░░░░░░░░ was driving this fire ░░░░░░░░ that lawyer Los Angeles ░░░░░░░░ experienced criminal defense lawyers ░░░░░░░░ within a very short ░░░░░░░░ of time we had ░░░░░░░░ immunity deal so we ░░░░░░░░ do what We could ░░░░░░░░ the truth That s ░░░░░░░░ he wanted just tell ░░░░░░░░ the truth about the ░░░░░░░░ of the relationship in ░░░░░░░░ of the president s ░░░░░░░░ denial Martha Here we ░░░░░░░░ again in the middle ░░░░░░░░ a special counsel investigation ░░░░░░░░ different parameters What parallels ░░░░░░░░ you see I know ░░░░░░░░ have respect for Robert ░░░░░░░░ Where do you think ░░░░░░░░ is going to end ░░░░░░░░ We really can t ░░░░░░░░ we just don t ░░░░░░░░ what Bob Mueller does ░░░░░░░░ What it boils down ░░░░░░░░ is Bob Mueller is ░░░░░░░░ officer of the Justice ░░░░░░░░ he s accountable within ░░░░░░░░ hierarchy of the Justice ░░░░░░░░ even though regulations have ░░░░░░░░ him of Independence I ░░░░░░░░ the current regulations tell ░░░░░░░░ that before Bob Mueller ░░░░░░░░ out and investigate something ░░░░░░░░ nothing to do with ░░░░░░░░ collusion he has to ░░░░░░░░ with the boss He ░░░░░░░░ to check with the ░░░░░░░░ attorney general Martha Given ░░░░░░░░ we heard from Brett ░░░░░░░░ after he was done ░░░░░░░░ that experience it made ░░░░░░░░ think twice about the ░░░░░░░░ process about how far ░░░░░░░░ it became How dangerous ░░░░░░░░ was to the presidency ░░░░░░░░ to the country I ░░░░░░░░ that something Bob Mueller ░░░░░░░░ I know and respect ░░░░░░░░ painfully aware of This ░░░░░░░░ a distraction to the ░░░░░░░░ Brett Kavanaugh who was ░░░░░░░░ part of the investigation ░░░░░░░░ described his role in ░░░░░░░░ book which was an ░░░░░░░░ role he performed brilliantly ░░░░░░░░ as he did in ░░░░░░░░ confirmation hearings I think ░░░░░░░░ Wade on Brett Kavanaugh ░░░░░░░░ the distraction factor that ░░░░░░░░ president has so many ░░░░░░░░ to make and so ░░░░░░░░ All that Brett Kavanaugh ░░░░░░░░ was to say Congress ░░░░░░░░ look at this problem ░░░░░░░░ think during the confirmation ░░░░░░░░ with all due respect ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats they were ░░░░░░░░ wildly to conclusions that ░░░░░░░░ completely unfounded that he ░░░░░░░░ somehow be 1 of ░░░░░░░░ judges or justices who ░░░░░░░░ somehow reshape the law ░░░░░░░░ basic principles of law ░░░░░░░░ no one is above ░░░░░░░░ law I think that ░░░░░░░░ really political as opposed ░░░░░░░░ a realistic concern.
