The one thing we cut off there, maybe its not fair is right after that, he broke into a rousing tune. Happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I couldnt believe it. But yeah. A little discordant, song didnt go with the message. But you know, thats mitch. Mitch mcconnell there, that was in 2021. It was a month after j

And during that time, hes been working with investigators and lawyers theres and has discovered what they call this substantial new evidence which you had actually referenced earlier. We dont know what that evidence is, but they say that it does support his claims of innocence. So theyre looking at but the dna, they want some items tested again, retested, and then they also want some new items, new new items tested for dna and they think that there is something they are anderson that could prove his innocence.

Five recent attorneys general, republicans ask democrats, have all signed the same memo affirm lg the importance of keeping politics out of criminal charges. A republican in 2008, eric holder in 2012 and Loretta Lynch in 2016, bill barr in 2020 and mek garland just last year, they have all used the same language, include ing this paragr quote, simply put, politics must play no role in the decisions the federal investigators or prosecutors regarding a
