Bringing in qualified people, some of whom perhaps offered their services but were told no because they were not trumpers. others he tlitried to recruit b they think this is a sinking ship, would add to their exposure if they walk in the door. more or less putting down your resume, thats a great setup up going forward. this white house not necessarily. >> its a president who never listens to legal advice unless its rudy giuliani and rudy giuliani is a loose cannon on television. >> they ought to...
