Wrongdoing or obstruction. we were trying to do a voluntary search, and we had a difference of opinion. i m not going to get into any more of the specifics of that, but there s nothing certainly nothing criminal about that. that is a disagreement we had and something that, among other things, led to my decision to leave. but a lot of these other statements and everything else, that really is more political questions, and it doesn t change my opinion based solely on the facts and the law that, whether you agree with any of these things or not, it s not something he should be indicted for and certainly not something that anybody should go to jail over. last question, sir. you talked about how the storage facility in mar-a-lago, it s a place of business, mar-a-lago, and the storage facility there there were other things in that storage facility along with these documents, many of ....
