I say it’s about time we came up with a new system. Job interviews are stupid. I don’t believe it’s a fair or accurate assessment. A person can be a great employee, but terrible at interviewing, and vice versa. Additionally, the questions asked are so stupid. “Why do you want to work for this company?” The same reason anyone wants to work anywhere, to have money.

Chris Christie Spills The Reason For 'Absurd' Trump Crowd Size Claims

Chris Christie pushed back against claims that “tens of thousands” of people show up at Donald Trump’s rallies, adding that the claims are “all about” the former president’s ego on Sunday.
The former New Jersey governor and ex Trump ally, in an interview with Fox News’ Shannon Bream, called into question the “absurd” estimated number of people at the former president’s rallies.

“Tens of thousands don’t show up anymore, that’s another one of the big lies that happen. Look, all you have to do is look at the pictures,” Christie said.

Christie went on to reflect on how Trump “droned on for an hour and a half” at a recent Iowa campaign stop, adding that his claims about a deal with China was a lie and declaring that he spent “the rest of the time” discussing his indictment.

“This is not somebody who’s fighting for the American people and their future. This is all about his ego.”

Christie, who has taken aim at Trump several times on the campaign trail, added that the former president cares “the most” about undoing his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.

Lindsey Graham’s ABC News Interview About Donald Trump Goes South In Just Seconds

interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on Sunday didn’t get off to the best of starts.

Stephanopoulos’ very first question for Graham, a staunch defender of the former president, was if he believed Trump’s claim that he was blameless in the classified documents case, in which Trump was indicted last week.

“Well, here is what I believe,” Graham responded, before going full whataboutism and pivoting to the right-wing talking point of Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when secretary of state, despite clear differences in the two cases and the fact Clinton was never charged.

Jim Jordan Backs Himself Into Corner Struggling To Defend Trump On Tape

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) declared that former President Donald Trump declassified secret files he hoarded at his Florida resort when he was president, apparently contradicting the words of Trump himself on a tape cited in his 37-count federal indictment.
Jordan, in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, was pressed to explain Trump telling golf club guests on the tape that he “could have declassified” material as president.

“He says point-blank on tape, ‘As president, I could have declassified it... now I can’t,’” said Bash as she read from a transcript of Trump’s comments about classified material. “He says in his own words. It’s on tape as part of this indictment that he did not declassify the material. Therefore, it is classified.”

Durham interviewed Hillary Clinton on alleged plan to tie Trump to Russia, found no ‘provable criminal offense’

Special counsel John Durham’s report released Monday details his investigation of a purported effort by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to tie Donald Trump to Russia but which Durham concludes “did not, all things considered, amount to a provable criminal offense.”

Durham reveals in a footnote that he interviewed the former secretary of State in May 2022 as part of his investigation.

The 2016 intelligence got the attention of then-CIA Director John Brennan, who briefed the Obama White House and referred the issue to the FBI. During the Trump administration, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe released some of Brennan’s notes about the intelligence used in his briefing of former President Barack Obama.

Ratcliffe publicly said that the intelligence community never corroborated the Russian claims of a “Clinton Plan” to frame Trump, and didn’t know whether it was fabricated.

In her interview with Durham’s investigators, Clinton expressed sympathy for Durham’s hunt. She calls it, “really sad,” adding, “I get it, you have to go down every rabbit hole.”

But Durham believes the uncorroborated intelligence should have at least made the FBI question whether it was being used by a political opponent to pursue allegations against the Trump campaign, the report shows.

Clinton called the intelligence that was consuming Durham’s time bogus, saying it “looked like Russian disinformation to me.”

A spokesman for Clinton didn’t respond to a request for comment Monday.

Durham concludes that it would be impossible to prosecute anyone for their handling of the intelligence. He said it “amounted to a significant intelligence failure,” but not a crime.
