David Gergen: “But there is this issue that the president and his White House team have long wanted to protect their own people from…”

If he had a receptive audience, and I will tell you, when everything -- when all the facts were to come out, it would be like Nixon and the tapes.

I think a lot of Americans do see it as disqualifying. And they're worried about it.

If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
