Of course I do. How could I know when I ran for President that the Republicans would actually get the press, some people in the press, to go along with the first special counsel in history that had nothing to do with the President's campaign, nothing to do with the President's administration, and where there was no evidence of wrongdoing by the President or the First Lady, and then proceed to report things so that half the people would think we had done something wrong and were covering something up? How could any person in their right mind have known that? Yes, I feel terrible about it. And I'll tell you what I'm going to do---- Ms. Shipman. Some of these investigations have turned up wrongdoing on the part of some of the people.
