This is embarrassing
He is openly running down every president in front of these Congresspeople who quite frankly are being given a pass for their own inaction.

Rep. Claudia Tenney on MSNBC
Basically just insulted Nancy Pelosi saying she should spend time negotiating not standing on her stiletto heels at her age for four hours.

Larry Nassar's lawyer doubts he could have assaulted so many people
https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/us/nassar-lawyer-shannon-smith/index.html
CNN)Michigan Lawyer Shannon Smith is part of the defense team representing disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who pleaded guilty to 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct in two state courts.
In his first sentencing, the court heard from more than 150 people who accused him of abuse. Now, in the midst of his latest hearing, the court has heard from 29 people so far.
But in an exclusive interview with WWJ Newsradio 950 in Detroit, Smith expressed doubts about the true number of victims.
"I have a very hard time believing that my client could have even possibly assaulted that many people day in and day out in front of their parents, and that every single one of those things was a crime, but he was such a manipulator he got away with it," she told WWJ. "I just can't imagine that's true."
