we have claire mccaskill saying nice things about bernie sanders.n during the same thing. the platform committee being reconstituted and sanders ppoint fivea members. i think there is an understanding on the clinton campaign's part that whatever frustrations you have, you need bernie sanders. you need to work out a deal with him where the party can come together around principles, reforms in the nominating , and then you need to harness him to go into the fall and help bring his voters to clinton. what about trump scares you? >> his unpredictability. it's a great weakness on his part. i think he will provide continuing ammunition in the form of intemperate statements. but on the other hand, the unpredictability makes it tough to prepare for a debate with him. you have to prepare for wild trump, mild trump, and somewhere in between trump. mark: i know you think she is going to win, but you don't rule out that he could win. >> i don't, and i don't think the campaign should. if he does, how will that be? >> game change cubed, number one. i think it wil

"your lack of oversight," it said, "contributed to conditions vulnerable to pervasive fraud, waste and abuse." vaughn, who declined to be interviewed on camera, strongly disputes that. but he is retired now and a reprimand has no affect on his benefits. an internal army audit estimated the total fraud "could be as high as tens of millions of dollars." investigations and audits have documents which the army released to "60 minutes." i'm just going to quote you from one of them: "found a failure to adequately
