agent pete strock is here. former adviser to president obama is here, and with me at the table onset, katie. katie, what is stunning about your colleague s reporting is that this isn t hidden. this wasn t a product of stellar investigative reporting which all these journalists have incredible body accomplishments in that category. these are stated public positions of the twice impeached, twice indicted expresident. absolutely. and one of the bylines on this piece, he reported a similar story just after trump left office when he was down in mar-a-lago regrouping with his allies, trying to figure out what to do. they started coming up with the plans even then. this is something that not only has trump and his allies been planning for a long time. they ve been remarkably consistent. their goal is to ensure whoever the president is can use the power of the executive branch
they certainly are. things are much looser earlier in the day, but i can tell you now that governor romney has done a full debate prep session this afternoon. they wanted to make this as close to the real thing as possible. the campaign built a stage. they had a table onset just like the one that will be used in the debate here at the site behind me. in fact, they went so far as to have the man playing the moderator who s a senior adviser to the campaign wear some purple sock. they re trying to get things right down to the moment here. all right, garrett haake, thank you so much. we re there following the romney campaign as they prepare for the debate. coming up, what s the obama camp s big vision for next term? we ll ask the campaign communications director.
