If I were the president, I would be very concerned... and I would do what was reasonably necessary to find a way to get my people confirmed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive.
If nobody trusts you as president, then you can't get anything done.
If I worried about pollsters, I wouldn't be president.
If I were to make public these tapes, containing blunt and candid remarks on many different subjects, the confidentiality of the office of the president would always be suspect.
I am prepared to do whatever I can do and whatever is reasonable to make sure that it is Hillary who makes it to the White House and not Trump.
Usually you kind of give the President a pass on leaking confidential stuff.
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
We have gutted our ability to detect the next attack. And I would not stand for that as president of the United States.
We had prepared, my staff had prepared for me a whole dossier on virtually - on George Bush on his votes on his records, what he had done over the past number of years in public service.
I had no concerns - I had no reason to have concerns based on what was available to me about North's contacts with the private sector people, but I didn't think a CIA person should do it.
