Justice Dept. Opens Inquiry Into Corey Lewandowski

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Justice Department has opened an inquiry into Corey Lewandowski, and joining us from FCI Danbury is Walter Ostrander, inmate forty-seven-eighteen-two-twenty-one. Walter, what's your read?

2. WO

   Walter OstranderMy read is that people are missing the blanket. The Wall Street Journal says a Coast Guard pilot got fired over a blanket. That's accountability.

3. WO

   Walter OstranderI respect it.

4. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRight, the report says Lewandowski angrily fired the pilot after one of Noem's blankets was reportedly left on a government plane.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWas that the pilot's blanket to lose?

6. WO

   Walter OstranderNo. But I've got a gray wool one right here, and I've never lost it. Not once. That's all I'll say on the boat.

7. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody mentioned a boat.

8. WO

   Walter OstranderAnd I'd like to keep it that way. Look, the inquiry is about contracts.

9. WO

   Walter OstranderInvestigators are reportedly asking about kickbacks from contractors and visa deals with Middle Eastern countries.

10. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHis attorney says he denies any wrongdoing while proudly serving his country in a voluntary capacity.

11. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe was an unpaid adviser, so who was he firing people for?

12. WO

    Walter OstranderUnpaid is a strong word. I once had an unpaid position on a boat. Hypothetically, it paid in other ways.

13. WO

    Walter OstranderThat's all I'll say on the boat.

14. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou've said that three times, and every time there's more boat.

15. WO

    Walter OstranderIt was a small boat. The blanket on it was also small. Nobody got fired over it, and that's the injustice.

16. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTrump says he wants his staff held accountable. So the blanket's covered. Is the rest of it going to be?

17. WO

    Walter OstranderRare for this administration to investigate its own, so I'd say the blanket was the dry run. A pilot lost a job for a blanket.

18. WO

    Walter OstranderNobody's lost one over the contracts yet, I bet.

19. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWalter, anything you'd like to say to the pilot?

20. WO

    Walter OstranderI'm told the pilot is available. I have a blanket, an opening, and a small boat.
