And so while here we are talking about his business practices he obviously is concerned that there is some risk and perhaps that risk in his mind is that the criminal investigation that is currently on a little bit of a break in the manhattan da s office but that could have come back to life if he had engaged in a full range of testimony in this deposition. let s talk about the don junior and ivanka depositions recently where as you said they answered questions but did not plead the fifth. it could be as you said they might see things differently than donald trump sees it, but is it possible that the criminal exposure that s being investigated here, it doesn t apply to them? in other words, are they fine with testifying because they don t think this has any carry over effect into anything else? so the way that i view this case that laetitia james the new york attorney general is involved in is that it s a civil case looking at business
