I want to be clear, i blame myself for the conduct which has brought me here today and it was my own weakness and a blind loyalty to this man that led me to choose a path of darkness over light. it is for these reasons i chose to participate in the illicit act of the president rather than to listen to my own inner voice, which should have warned me that the campaign finance violations that i later plead guilty to were insidious. recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak, and he was correct. but for a much different reason than he was implying. it was because time and time agai...

Knowing his actions brought shame and pain among his family. joining me is reverend al sharpton. good to have you. >> thank you. >> give me your thoughts on today. >> i heard his statement and it was very similar to he had met with me twice this year. he reached out. he was more concerned about his family than anything else. in our last meeting when i was getting ready to leave the restaurant, we had breakfast both times. he said pray because i'm going to go to jail. i said you'll see what happens. he said i'm going to jail. i was not surprised when he talked about his family. i think he meant...
