[0:06] There was a Chairman Adams piece in the Post this morning, which was on the editorial page.

[0:23] All of them?
[0:24] No, largely around Dean and whether or not he should testify.

[0:31] That is what I'm finding.
[0:34] Yeah.
[0:36] Yeah.
[0:37] And he was charged with the crime.
[0:38] Sure.
[0:39] That's why he was.
[0:40] I wouldn't question that.
[0:41] He was the president's lawyer.
[0:42] Yeah.
[0:43] Well, that's true.

[0:48] Do you agree with that?
[0:49] Absolutely.
[0:50] That is what we're talking about.
[0:51] That's right.
[0:52] And I think that's a clear thing.
[0:53] I was talking to you.
[0:55] Yeah.
[0:55] I was talking about a crime.
[0:56] I was talking about the information.
[0:58] I was talking to you.
[0:58] Yeah.
