“I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, because it didn’t dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation, that there might be a tape. My judgment was that I needed to get that out into the public square. So I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might provoke the appointment of a special counsel. So I asked a close friend of mine to do it … a good friend of mine who’s a professor at Columbia Law School.”
