I believe in a presumption of innocence.
I believe in the right to remain silent.
I commend good friends willing to
speak up on a fellow’s behalf
in his time of need.
And, now, ladies and gentlemen, we
are pleased to present a wonderful
comedian with his impression of
the late Sergeant Schultz!
I feel very badly. I haven’t been dealing with him for a long period of time, as most of the people in this room know. Uh, he was involved in our campaign. He worked for Goldman Sachs. He worked, worked for a lot of companies. But he was involved likewise in our campaign and, uh, for a small part of the administration, very early on. I haven’t been dealing with him at all. Uh, I know nothing about the project other than I didn’t like, when I read about it, I didn’t like it. I said, “This is for government, this isn’t for private people.” And it sounded to me like showboating, and I think I let my opinion be very strongly stated at the time. I didn’t like it, it was showboating and maybe looking for funds. But you’ll have to see what happens. Uh, I think it’s a, uh, very sad thing for Mr. Bannon. I think it’s, uhhh, surprising, but this was something, as you know, just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is, and by speaking to Mike and Mike, and all of them, I didn’t like that project. I thought that was a project that was being done for showboating reasons. I don’t know that he was in charge; I didn’t know any of the other people, either. But it’s, uh, sad, it’s very sad.
