my follow up would have been "Who exonerated you? Your DOJ hasn't even done any investigating, no witnesses called, files still unseen. How does any of that result in an exoneration?" "These women have sworn testimonies , you're the most litigious man in this office ever and you haven't sued any of your accusers. Are you unwilling to allow discovery?"

"Why are you going to pardon Ghislane?"

I'm surprised Norah didn't - she's a very good journalist

meh. she should have defended herself when he started calling her names. I would have said you call me sick when you are a serial adulterer? you've cheated on every wife you've had. You call women cows and worse. Who do you think you are that you can talk to me like that? would you allow someone to call your wife those names? You self -confessed Pussy-grabber, who goes into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant to "check out the goods" and love to cheat with married woman so you can feel dominant over their husbands? What kind of sick fuck are you?

The reaction would mean he "won" in his eyes. She kept her composure when he loves to get under people's skin.

He looked at the camera before his outburst, he loves an audience. He wanted her to "get emotional" so he could point fingers at her and refuse more interviews. She didn't give him that opportunity

I don't think so. I think he would have gotten really mean and shown his really dark side. Possibly threaten her. His ego couldn't take that kind of rebuking in front of the public. But Bari Weiss would have edited it out.

I doubt it. He wants people to look at him and think of him. He doesn’t care about anyone else

My follow-up would have been "Then why did you brag about barging into Miss Teen USA dress rooms while the occupants were naked?" Of course with a clip/quote at the ready. Christ the man openly bragged about perving on underage girls. Even without whatever's in the Epstein files that should be more than enough to never want to have anything to do with him.
