to in an agreement with the legal theme that they thought was going to be immune from future charges and now we do not know where things stand except for the fact that judge gave both sides roughly 30 days to get back to her to prove and convince her the constitutionality of this plea agreement. so not a good day. and you mentioned, by the way, you are going to have chairman smith of the ways and means community, he filed this amicus brief to ask the court to look into the whistle-blower. the two irs whistle-blower testimony. that of course, was not something that had been coming to light yet. when they crafted this plea agreement that fell apart. they never really got to that because the judge couldn t get her answers to the constitutionality question. really quite something in the moment. we knew it was not going to come back together was when david
