trump s re-election effort, that isn t the way the department works, and merrick garland has been quiet and people are saying why hasn t he said anything, why isn t he moving forward? now we have this whole backdrop of what occurred and now it s now in the hands of the special counsel, which i think was a i wasn t necessarily in favor of it at the time but i think it was a prudent thing to do. it s in the hands of a person whose job is now to look at the evidence, look at the case, decide under the guidelines of the department whether this is a proper case to bring, and that s now what has to happen. look, not to cut you off here, i don t want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like you re saying there should be an indictment? the bottom line question is always the question that goes to the justice department. and they have to assess the quality of the case they have, that they can put on in court. and that involves admissible
