but some of the people he defrauded were you and i. i just find it an astoppishing sentence and i can assure you that every defense lawyer is america is going through cases and we will be flooded with stories of people selling an ounce of marijuana or stealing quarters from a laundry room with an equal sentence. we talk to talk about the disparities between white collar crime and street crime. do you think he was intentionally setting himself up for a potential pardon from the president? well, that is really hard to say, but the president s reaction that you just read before the break about no collusion, this trial wasn t about collusion. that was the other thing that
hillary clinton? no, i don t think it is solutio collusion. i don t admire it, but someone says i have information on an opponent, unless there is an arran arrangement. it is unwise, but i don t see it part of the crime. it is part of the counter intelligence investigation, because the value and knowing whether or not a government had sw sway over the son of a presidential candidate. you absolutely want to gather all of the facts in terms of the depth of the relationship and so farther. this appears to be a one off as opposed to collusion which is let s get together and we re going to work together for a particular purpose kwh ask to influence an american election. bob mueller had 20 months or so
