What I disagree, what he should have said, and again, same what you were saying, that certain questions should be asked. When I watch Donald Trump talk at times, I'm like this. Oh, he's going to answer this just like, and he frustrates me. He frustrates me. And he's a likable guy, but he frustrates me in some respects.

They give you a budget to live, but they want you to get a job, and they want to make sure you're paying your taxes and yada, yada, yada. Most of these witnesses aren't going to adhere to those rules. So what do they do? They just sign themselves out and they're in the wind.

You held without bail. The U.S. Attorney's Office felt you were so dangerous, you should never be released because this guy did a murder, he did this, he did this. Then all of a sudden now he cooperated. He's less dangerous? With a new identity that nobody knows who he is or where he's at? I leave here right now, people know I'm John Gotti. That's who I am.
