Painter: ‘People Think It’s OK for a 32-Year-Old Man to Have Sex with 14-Year Old Girls’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BOLDUAN: "Richard, from an ethics standpoint, if the discussion of a plot didn't go anywhere, was there any wrong doing?"
PAINTER: "Well, conspiring to kidnap people. We're also talking about ak cementing bribes. Talking about getting cash and going into the administration and pushing for the extradition of a man who a country where he might face imprisonment or death. If that is a serious crime. And further more, I believe that general Flynn might have met his contacts with the Turkish and Russian government. He was fired for lying and we need to have a sense of decency and respect for the rule of law in this country. And that's what we see in the past week. People collaborated with the Russians, lying about it. People think it's okay for 32-year-old man to have sex with 14-year-old girls. And now we have someone who is conspiring to kidnap and that's been reported in The Wall Street Journal. Or use his influence inside the government for money. On behalf of a foreign agent. We had a foreign agent at the very top of our national security counsel. Very, very sad."
BOLDUAN: "I want to make just one clarification. There is no allegation that when you're referring to the 32 Roy Moore that he had sex with any 14-year-old --"
PAINTER: "Saying that it's okay. People are saying it's okay and it's -- that is unacceptable.
BOLDUAN: "But is it important no matter where you stand, we get the facts right on what is being alleged."
PAINTER: "We don't know what happened, but it is not okay to say."
BOLDUAN: "I'm going to stick with The Washington Post. We know as I've reported, where it stands. Any way. Thank you very much."
