Foreigners listening in on, foreigners talking to foreigners abroad. None of this needed to happen. If Donald Trump had. He didn't even come out in support of this tool until about six weeks ago. If Donald Trump had...put forward Clayton or somebody else six weeks ago...he would have done even Jay Clayton a few days earlier. I actually think Donald Trump wants this tool to expire because he would then try to blame Democrats, God forbid if anything happens. (25:36–25:50)
