that his final memo may not be publicized. he didn t do that here. in fact, he showed remarkable professionalism by keeping redacted. he could have said, here is how he helped and it could ve been a bombshell, and he didn t do that. to me, that is the big take away. the memo itself is kind of a dud because all the good stuff is redacted. laura: jason, here is part of the memo. given the defendant substantial assistance and other considerations set forth below, the sentence should fall below the guideline range that doesn t include incarceration is appropriate and warranted. i get guess it is the meaning f substantial assistance. you can be polite, you can answer all their questions, donald trump has answered all their questions. but i think he is right, there is no bombshell because there is no bombshell! it s that simple. if they had him on collusion with russia to affect the election, absolutely they would have gone after him. laura: two counts, two
doesn t have a lot of money. when a prosecutor says, you ever want to see your wife again? your son, your little grandchild? he s never going to see your grandchild. you are going to go to jail for the next 30 years don t worry. it scary for most people. but he had competent counsel, he never would have gone to jail. if he had fought this and lost he never would have gone to jail for a significant narrative time for offenses like this. laura: in an article he wrote for the the hill about turkey? the guideline range of 0 to 6 months, he would have had that no matter what. that would have been his guideline range. so what s going on here, there was something else. there was a threat that was made against somebody laura: it s about his son. to speak about something else, you can believe two things at the same time. you can believe there was the seat of the fisa court and that i should be investigated and that people should be prosecuted if they were found to have lied about
