Gilbert Gutknecht: “It is true that the money cannot be replaced. What really cannot be replaced is your reputation. I cannot imagine much…”

“It is true that the money cannot be replaced. What really cannot be replaced is your reputation. I cannot imagine much worse than having my daughter call me, as I think Billy Dale's daughter did call him when she saw the story on the national news, where they were accusing him of fraud and so forth. And his daughter said to him, Dad, say it is not so. I do not know how you could talk to your family. I do not know how you could face your family when on the national news you are being besmirched this way. I sat in these hearings. I was absolutely certain, absolutely convinced that they were wronged and that I told them I hoped that whoever was responsible, and I think we have a responsibility to try and get to the bottom of who is culpable under this, but I told them that I hoped that whoever was responsible would have to pay and pay dearly because it seems to me that where this whole story started with the seven White House travel office employees and then you see the pattern that has evolved, and it is always denial, delay, an they do not want to give the documents.”
