We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
Isn't that the complete clear implication of that tape? And shouldn't somebody at the White House have a law enforcement responsibility to find out did the White House, in fact, threaten her job. Shouldn't that person be fired summarily?
