Hello?
Yes, sir.
Well, any new developments today?
No, just meeting with John Mitchell.
Oh, fine.
You're with him now?
Yeah, uh-huh.
Fine.
Well, I'm going to come back about, be there about 2.30, and then I'll spend the rest of the time in the EOB.
Okay, very good.
And, well, the one thing that I was interested in on that John Mitchell, on this New Jersey thing, is I suppose that the prosecutor's a Republican, isn't he?
Is the New Jersey prosecutor a Republican?
Yeah.
What should we do?
Just no comment?
What should the president do in his press conference?
Just no comment?
Yeah, no comment on a pending matter.
Yeah.
Too bad that they get involved in that.
Yeah.
It is a state prosecution, isn't it?
No, it's federal.
Oh, it's federal.
There's a state prosecution also, apparently, Johnson.
Oh.
State and federal.
They're both Republicans.
They're both Republicans.
Our cannibalism is showing again.
Is that what he said?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, anyway.
We hope for the best.
Yeah.
Okay, fine.
I'll call you later, bud.
All right.
