criminal cases. an existing treaty that exists from 1999. it is still in the forest and it works efficiently. today i referred an example of it specific work. chris: i m not trying to interrupt or disrespectful be - translator: let me finish. you are trying to, but i will finish. why wouldn t special counsel mueller send us an official request within the framework of this agreement? our investigators will be acting in accordance with this treaty. they will question each individual that american partners are suspected of something. why was not a single request filed? nobody sent us a single formal letter. chris: let me just say, i don t want to interrupt, and i want to ask, i want to move on to other subjects.
