exactly. but you saw the crane while you were there. i saw the crane. okay, that could be an option. and then we planned it. in a very professional way with a lot of advisers in terms of safety. i know that i needed to stay safe. joaquin needs me here, so i need to take care of myself. if i m not here, joaquin s dad can t do what he does. so, we did it yesterday because it was february 14th. it will be more impactful. and it is more impactful when i see the news today and i read that joaquin oliver s dad sent a message on the anniversary of the parkland shooting asking for changes and demanding for things to work in a better way. i m proud that i can do that. i really like it. a year and a half ago, i think it was, right, you shared a stage. you introduced president biden. correct. now you are waiting outside of the white house demanding a
show the court, look, see. i have evidence. i have a smoking gun here. i think they re all going to be taking the fifth any way. well i don t think you know, i don t think she s ever going to get the testimony of president trump and his children. i just think i think she ll get them in the room. maybe. and again, just very quickly, laura, if you re the defense attorney or attorneys for the trump organization, you see this and you say you say, look, we already disclosed we already provided a number of qualifications in those financial statements. mazars said we know these do in the confirm with generally accepting accounting principles. look, this is nothing new here. i think that s a tough road to hoe the middle of a financial investigation. you re going to have a conflict between the criminal defense lawyers and the business lawyers. the criminal defense lawyers are going to say, shut up. don t say anything. you are under serious investigation. the business l
analyst jeffrey toobin. very quickly, is this common for a firm to dump a client like this? it s super uncommon. basically the way it works whether it s an individual or a company is the accountant goes to the company, the client and says give me the financial records and i will prepare a financial statement, a tax return based on the information you gave me. what that legal mum bow jumbo in that letter in english means is that we don t trust the material that our client, the trump organization, gave us for ten years, so the product we came out with, the tax returns, the financial statements, are not reliable. garbage in, garbage out. we got garbage from the trump organization so we don t know what the truth is. and the reason we know it s garbage is because of the attorney general s court filings and they say they have been
