irresponsible, political, an unnecessarily picking on the former president of the united states so, no i don t expect them t do anything we re actually sponsored lee. they have not, in the, past up until today they have not. and i don t expect them to stand up and be real representatives of thi country. barbara, given what we know what s been reported in th press up until this point, i it possible that manhattan d alvin bragg will not indic donald trump it is always a possibility. the last reporting we have i that donald trump s lawyers me with alvin bragg, that he wa invited to come testify, tha they put michael cohen in th grand jury, that they ve interviewed stormy daniels all of those tea leaves seem t suggest that there is an indictment, but that is always a possibility. there is not a confirmatio that he has been indicted. it could be that they plan t
