00:00I think she'll be great.
00:03Your nominee for U.S. Attorney of D.C.
00:06Do the backer plan this setting.
00:07Oh, I do, yeah, but he's a terrific person.
00:10And he wasn't getting the support from people that I thought.
00:15You know, he's done a very good job.
00:16Crime is down 25% in D.C. during his period of time.
00:21I'm very disappointed in that.
00:23But I have so many different things that I'm doing now with the trade.
00:26You know, I'm one person.
00:28I can only make, boom, I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day.
00:33But we have somebody else that will be great.
00:37I just want to say, Ed is unbelievable.
00:39And hopefully we can bring him into, whether it's DOJ or whatever, in some capacity.

00:49I have to be straight.
00:50I was disappointed.
00:51A lot of people were disappointed.
00:53But that's the way it works sometimes, you know.

00:56And he wasn't rejected.
00:57But we felt it would be very, it would be hard.
01:01And we have somebody else that we'll be announcing over the next two days who's going to be great.
