If Doug burgum gave a $13 million no bid contract for the reflecting pool that backfired immediately, he should be held accountable. And if Jeanine Pirro used the Department of Justice to go after the president's enemies, including me. she should be held accountable and she should lose her law license. And I would just remind these people, abusing taxpayer money for personal and political gain can land you a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. (14:18–14:24)
