That this switch may have something entirely to do with the Southern District of new york who has been handling this probe. Thats right, brooke. There appear to be various reasons why this i happening now. Theres a deadline on friday for going over 300,000 r them to pages of documents, plus another million items that were turned over as part of this raid.
