Jack the Ripper Smith Now Jack the Ripper Smith is subpoenaing anything that moves including things that don't move actually Because he's not interested in doing justice he's trying to seek and destroy and I've explained about this man's past in the recent past I was overturned by the Supreme Court in an 8 to zero ruling because he was way over zealous in his prosecution of bob McDonald the former Republican governor of Virginia I explained how he lost a jury trial In the John Edwards case with his girlfriend or pregnancy how they used money raised by donors to put her up in an apartment and take care of her and this guy Jack the Ripper Smith concluded that that violated the election laws and of course Edwards one of his defenses was I relied on the election law people Giving me advice the experts the lawyers And so Jack the Ripper lost that one too So they sent him off to The Hague They figured he'd be more comfortable hanging around genocidal mass murders And prosecuting them So the attorney general of the United States meritless Garland he decided that would be the perfect guide who the point is a special counsel to go after Trump And now what the guy's done He's tried to violate a privilege that goes back to at least the Roman Empire probably before the attorney client privilege Hence due process under our Bill of rights and our constitutional system

Ivanka Trump Does Not 'Plan to Be Involved in Politics'
"I'm continuing my discussion of Trump's big announcement, but I also want in this segment to broaden the discussion to look at sort of a post mortem of what happened in the recent midterms. Now, a couple of details with regard to Trump, the first thing is I saw a very interesting statement by Ivanka Trump, basically saying I'm stepping away from politics. Now she didn't clearly say that she was doing this along with her husband, Jared Kushner. She says, quote, I'm choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating. And so I think what she's trying to say is that I'm not going to be appearing on campaign rallies with my dad. And I'm also going to stay away if Trump is reelected from the Trump administration. And to the degree that she means herself and her husband, Jared Kushner, I think this is a good thing for them, but it's also a very good thing for Trump. It's a good thing for Trump because it's always complicated where when you have a close family that are anchored in a position of great authority and power and trust in The White House. Everybody else doesn't know how to navigate with regard to them. Of course, they are trusted. But on the other hand, they're not necessarily experienced now Jared Kushner in some ways did bring some experience. He was very well connected in the Middle East. And his impact, I think in some ways was positive because he helped a broker important deals, the move of the embassy to Jerusalem, the Abraham accords where Arab countries made a pact with Israel that would have seemed unimaginable. In fact, people like John Kerry said it's ridiculous. You can't get this kind of agreement without the Palestinians and Trump sort of made it look easy. So I'm not implying that Jared Kushner didn't do anything, but I also think that what happens very often for a business guy like Kushner is he tends to look at The White House as a way of kind of making connections.

The January 6 Committee Puts Findings on Public Display
"The January 6th committee is putting its findings on public display with an obliging sycophantic media, all the channels are covering it with the notable exception of Fox, at least fox is not doing any kind of live coverage. And yet, you know, as I take a look at this stuff, I mean, there are little tidbits here that are sort of interesting, but the whole thing is pretty pathetic. Okay, so Ivanka Trump believed Bill Barr when Bill Barr said, by the way, Bill Barr said absolutely with no investigation, no basis at all. Oh, it's a very secure election. I'm pretty convinced. What did bail bar look at to be convinced? He certainly hasn't seen or hadn't seen by them the evidence of 2000 mules. But nevertheless, apparently he was a credible enough to convince Ivanka that that Trump lost the election. Look, who cares what Ivanka Trump thinks about this? This is someone who is not even someone all that interested in politics. So maybe from a family point of view, it's modestly interesting. Here is Benny Thompson Donald Trump was at the center of that conspiracy. Well, first of all, you haven't proven it was a conspiracy. Where's the conspiracy? Show us that all the people who came to D.C. are winning the capitol conspired with each other to do that. They didn't manifestly they didn't. And in fact, what Trump said to people was to peacefully and patriotically march to the capital, he didn't join them. He didn't go inside the capitol. He didn't tell them to go inside the

"Me ask your unique perspective on how you think your uncle and the people around him will react to this. This is something that for all the efforts to sort of get accountability for various things that he's done criminal charges brought against his business is something new that he's never faced before anything like it he's never faced before. How do you think react. I'm sure he's quite angry. I wouldn't wanna be around doing right now. But unlike other people close to him who are probably extremely nervous. I don't believe donald we'll be because he's been getting away with this sort of thing for so long that i he must feel immune because he always has been. These are the kinds of charges that could have been leveled against him and other people in my family decades ago. He's also i'm sure quite confident in allen. Weisselberg loyalty to him. He doesn't believe for a second that alamosa burg will flip on him so unless prosecutors can find somebody else who will flip or unless they can find something else in the many millions of pages of documents they have. Donald is going to be completely confident in allen's loyalty for sure one of the things that has struck me over the course of the day is the sort of very bluntly worded reporting from the new york times which he murdered emerged after today's arraignment that the next phase of the investigation. Not only is there. A next phase that this that there will be further work from the grand jury and potentially further indictments but that focuses specifically on your uncle and that it is going to be looking at some of the things that michael cohen testified about to congress that adjusting the valuation of various assets to defraud allegedly to defraud banks insurance companies and tax authorities. The prospect that charges wouldn't just be targeting on weisselberg wouldn't just be targeting the company but would target him personally must feel must seem like a different sort of a different level though. Yeah sure and it shouldn't surprise anybody except perhaps donald because there there are longstanding patterns here and my lawsuit will show just how consistent those patterns are in have been since the eighties in the other thing that people need to understand. Is that when my grandfather was alive. Donald was involved in everything that went on and after my grandfather started suffering from alzheimer's nothing happened in the family or my grandfather's business or in dallas business without his explicit say-so he was running the show. He is always the person who knows what's going on at. Nobody does anything independently from him and that includes his siblings as well so again he should be quite nervous. But i think the fact that he's gotten away with so much for so long including over the past four years. When he was in the oval office will continue to give him a false sense of confidence. Is that interrupted at all by the prospect that the other executives of the trump organization who are his children may be in the line of fire. Here i mean one of the. I think the important threads to pull from that pulitzer prize winning reporting at the new york times based on trump financial records Is that among others. It appears that. Ivanka trump benefited from the type of scheme. That's described than the end of the indictment. Today that trump executives were compensated in ways that were deliberately designed to help them evade taxes and to help the business evade taxes on their behalf. Weisselberg is being charged for benefiting from that scheme the indictment says other executives also benefited from that scheme. And now we've got solid reporting that the investigation continues that raises the prospect. That further charges could be brought against his children. Yeah it.

"On in the trump presidency new york times reporters obtained more than one hundred thousand pages of documents detailing the finances of trump's business and the trump family and ultimately the times turned those documents into Multiple several thousand word investigations showing out for years trump and his family participated in tax schemes. And in some instances appeared to be outright fraud schemes that saved them potentially hundreds of millions of dollars on tax bills over the years. It was kind of a mystery when the first part of that story broke how the reporters from the times could have possibly gotten their hands on so many of those personal financial documents. It was a mystery until this book came out. It was written by donald. Trump's niece mary trump and in the book mary trump revealed that she was the one who had access to those documents and she had turned them over to reporters at the new york times and those documents were not just the source of remarkable award winning journalism they also became the basis of a lawsuit that married trump launched against her uncle donald trump in which she alleges he cheated her out of tens of millions of dollars in trump family assets that were otherwise rightfully hers that lawsuit of course is now just one item in a growing list of legal woes for the former president and his business including these new charges brought in new york state court today joining us nail. I'm pleased to say as donald. Trump's niece mary trump's she's the author of too much. Never enough how. My family created the world's most dangerous man. She also has a new book coming out on august august seventeenth which is called the reckoning our nation's trauma and finding a way to heal mary trump is great to see you. It's been too long.

"In order to obtain this remarkable indictment today against the company of former president. Donald trump and the company's longtime chief financial officer near prosecutors had the battle all the way that the us supreme court twice to get access to trump tax and financial documents that the president had fought to keep secret. Trump lost that fight ultimately and in february prosecutors did finally get access to millions of pages of trump's taxes that was february when they got access by may they'd impaneled a special grand jury to meet three days a week to consider the evidence to consider potential charges. Today's indictment and the fifteen felony charges that were unsealed today. that's the first public facing product of that process. It may not be the last as far as we know that grand jury is still sitting and is expected to sit until the end of the year. Right now there's only two known entities that have access to millions of pages of trump financial and tax documents to review one of them is that prosecutor's office which today unveiled these fifteen felony charges against the former president's business. The other entity is a small reporting team at the new york times which obtained more than deck a- decades worth of trump tax documents and won a pulitzer prize for their writing about it since twenty. Nineteen they'd been chronicling. How the former president and his family and his business has spent years among other things aggressively avoiding paying taxes. Joining us now is a member of that reporting team. Suzanne craic investigative reporter for the new york times suzanne. I've been really looking forward to talking to you about this. Thank you so much for having me reading the indictment today and knowing what prosecutors said today in court do you feel like you. Could you saw some of this coming with what you were able to report on about. Trump's tax practices and business practices. You know we've been looking now at his finances for five or six years and we got a hold of his taxes in published a story that came out in twenty twenty around not in there are a number of discrete issues that we saw that we think still need to be surfaced. I'm not surprised about today. It seemed actually interesting about today that it was built more around alan wiesel taxes than it was around donald trump's taxes. So i think they're still working their way through the investigations continuing. And you know we saw when we were going through through our work four or five or six discreet issues. that are. i'm sure of. I've heard or of interest to to the manhattan. Ua in their investigators one of the things that caught my eye is your reporting from last fall about a scheme that you uncovered basically by comparing different financial documents. Which showed that. The president's ivanka trump was paid as a consultant in a way that seemed designed to avoid paying taxes on some of her income away that would have been advantageous both to her and also to the trump organization. I wondered if you saw any reflections of that scheme that you described particularly in this later parts of the indictment what they described ongoing schemes involving multiple executives around the way their their compensation was was described to authorities. Sure did feel a piece to me what we saw when we were doing our work with the payments some of which went to vodka trump. You're seeing money. That's coming out and being allocated Allen wiesel briquet some of that through through a certain payment and with with ivanka trump what we saw in in its others or involved as well there was twenty six million dollars we've found in consulting fees that were being paid from entities. Donald trump controls outward. We couldn't see who they were who they were going to. But we saw them going out and it was like. Wow when we saw it we were like where were these going. And then what we found as we went along was we were comparing the taxes to other documents. We had public documents other documents. We saw some of it actually went to a company that is controlled by trump is an officer up and then paid out to ivanka trump. Why is it red flag. Because she's got she's an officer of the trump organization and has she's paid more than two million dollars and she's also getting consulting fees and that's sort of something that right away should be the. Irs would be looking at it and saying. Hey they're only supposed to sort of payment should be ordinary and necessary in the you have to question why somebody who's making two million dollars at the trump organization is also getting consulting fees so you're sorta like what's going on and what we are reporting suspected. And we reported about was this was an attempt by donald trump to reduce his taxable income into transfer money to his kids.

"You taking notes. The criminal bleeping conspiracy. What are you thinking. They kept internal written records of the stuff. They were otherwise very carefully. Keeping off the books really and a prosecutor prosecutors apparently now have that audacious and sweeping how the prosecutor described it. And here's here's just one last point and this is what we're going to talk about tonight with somebody who knows these things the scheme to have. Trump's company pay for personal stuff for trump organization executives as describing the indictment as a scheme. So not only do those executive to have to pay for those things out of pocket they would thereby dodge taxes on that both from the company side and the employees. The indictment says that scheme was not limited to ellen weisselberg and his family members who are compensated in that way they describe other people who worked for the trump organization who benefited from this allegedly illegal tax evasion scheme similarly the indictment says there were other trump organization executives who worked for the company but they were regularly paid in ways that were designed to disguise their payment from tax authorities. They were regularly paid in ways to make. It look like they weren't getting compensated. As trump organization employees they were getting paid as consultants or something and has important tax consequences both for the company and for the executive getting paid that way. That's all spelled out in the indictment. It's spelled out in the indictment as a further part of the scheme to defraud no other executives behind besides allen wiesel burgers described as the beneficiaries of that fraud but it is explicitly spelled out that he wasn't the only one who benefited from that kind of a scheme. I will also tell you that is exactly the kind of scheme described by new york times reporters in september in their pulitzer prize winning expose of trump's financial adventures. They specifically described a scheme like that a scheme like the one outlined in today's indictment as it related to ivanka trump the president's daughter the times described in detail financial records. They discovered that showed ivanka. Trump being paid both as an employee of the trump organization and as a consultant to the trump organization in a way that seemed custom designed to try to evade taxes. Both for the company and for her. That is the executive scheme described at the end of the indictment prosecutors. Say that weisselberg benefited from such a scheme and that other executives did too. They are not named in this indictment but that is the ivanka scheme. Describe last fall in the new york times. And like i said. Apparently there's more to come from this investigation. We've got much more on that..

"Not all though and what new york prosecutors spelled out in court today was a variety of this kind of alleged crime that was according to prosecutors not at all subtle the word we might use not legal terms is brazen the word the actual prosecutor used in court before the judge today was audacious prosecutor called it a sweeping and audacious illegal payments scheme. We just got in the transcript ready. The judge good afternoon. Please be seated the clerk calling from the fifty nine calendar. I don't know what that is number. One the trump corporation the trump payroll corporation and ellen weisselberg the judge any reason why we cannot proceed with the arraignment defense lawyer. None prosecutor none your honor the judge a rain defendant the clerk allen weisselberg the grand jury of the county of new york has filed an indictment charging you with grand larceny in the second degree and other related charges. How do you plead guilty or not. Guilty the defendant illinois super not guilty your honor clerk the trump corporation the grand jury of the county of new york has filed an indictment charging you with scheme to defraud in the first degree and other related charges. How do you plead defense lawyer. Corporation plates not guilty. The clerk the trump payroll corporation. The special grand jury has filed an indictment charging you with scheme to defraud in the first degree and other related charges. How do you plead guilty or not. Guilty defense lawyer. You're on our the company pleads not guilty thank you the judge very well and in different prosecutor rises your honor in light of the many statements that have already been made about this case. I would like to clarify for the court. Briefly with this case is and is not about a spelled out in the indictment. This was a fifteen year long tax fraud scheme involving off the books payments which is a type of crime that is charged against companies and executives all the time contract to today's assertion by the company's former ceo former president donald trump. This is not a quote standard practice in the business community nor was it the act of a rogue or isolated employee instead it was orchestrated by the most senior executives who were financially benefiting themselves and the company by getting secret pay raises at the expense of state and federal tax payers. The chief financial officer himself avoided taxes on one point. Seven million dollars of his own income which hardly amounts to an incidental quote fringe benefit and the former ceo former president. Donald trump himself signed many of the illegal compensation checks. To put it bluntly this was a sweeping and audacious illegal payments scheme as noted in the indictment the chief financial officer himself allen weisselberg directed that company records be deleted to conceal his participation in the scheme with the knowledge of the company yet he remains to this day the most senior financial fiduciary in the company. Even now there's been no attempt to impose discipline on the people involved to report the crimes repay the proceeds or even to amend any of the false tax returns instead what confronted by our investigation. The company at the highest levels decided not to accept responsibility and cooperate. Which is what companies do if they want to be viewed as a good corporate citizen instead the company forces into litigation for year and a half including trips to the united states supreme court and even after they lost those claims at every turn they failed to comply with subpoenas before this court and have refused even to allow us to speak to any of their employees except in the grand jury to be clear. A company has complete right to adopt this type. Combative uncooperative approach. But having done so it doesn't have the right to turn around and demand the leniency in benefit that flows to a company that does cooperate in short contrary to the defenses assertions. There's no clearer example of a company that should be held to criminal account and finally to address what this case is not about. This case is not about politics. This investigation which is ongoing has been thorough careful and proper and has been limited to subject matters within our new york jurisdiction. Politics has no role in the grand jury chamber. And i can assure your honor. It played no role here. The charges were considered by an impartial. Grand jury and we look forward to this court's review of the grand jury minutes. Which will confirm that impartiality. Thank you your honor. The judge then nods to the defense counsel for the trump organization and says council defense counsel rises. Thank you your honor your honor. I appreciate the press release. I don't think at this point. It warrants a response bit by bit claim by claim. So i'm not going to indulge in that at this time. Thank you your honor. The judge anything else. The defense lawyer ellen weisselberg prices. You're on our on behalf of mr weisselberg. I don't have a microphone. Should i stand the judge. We will hand you a microphone. Defense lawyer thank you your honor i would just like to say. On behalf of mr weisselberg we object to the characterization of the facts that was just given to the extent that they relate to mr weisberg bank. You the judge. Thank you and that was. That was the meat of it. There was a subsequent discussion right after that about discovery. Which means the prosecutors have to give the defense lawyers the evidence that they've got in the case which they're going to be basing their case on at one point during the whole discovery discussion when they're talking about handing over the evidence that they've got They note pointedly that. This is as the defense lawyers. Excuse me as the prosecutor said in his opening statement this is an ongoing investigation and so they asked for a protective order. But that means is that whatever they have to hand over to the defense lawyers in discovery so the defense lawyers can get a good look at all the evidence and everybody's got a fair shot at defending the case on its merits. The protective order would mean that the defense lawyers can't show any of that material either to the public or to anybody who's not directly involved in the case so the defense agrees to that protective order. The judge agrees to that protective order. There's a protective order. We will never see the public. We will never see the discovery in this case. The only other real thing that happened today at this arraignment was this sort of sad moment for ellen. Super prosecutor says to the judge while these charges are eligible for bail. We believe there is a flight. Risk associated with this defendant. So surrender of the passport is necessary to reasonably assure his return to court. This defendant has been and apparently will remain the cfo of a company with international tentacles and the evidence on this would demonstrate an ample record of travel by private jet and defendant has significant means and connections to support himself outside the jurisdiction including in places beyond our powers of extradition. The surrender of the passport is the least restrictive alternative condition that would reasonably assured defendants return to court. It's our understanding. That defendant weisselberg consents to this condition and is prepared to surrender the passport to our investigators. The judge do you in fact consent. Defense lawyer for him. Yes your honor. Then the judge just says bluntly turn over the passport..

"The rachel maddow show. We did nine eastern on. Msnbc leona helmsley. remember her. She went to prison. She was a multi-billionaire actual multi-billionaire for real she was president of helmsley hotels which was a high end luxury group of two or three dozen hotels including the park lane in new york city and the helmsley palace. She herself appeared in ads for some of her hotels bragging about how rich she was. And how exacting she was and how she needed absolutely the best service and the all the most luxurious stuff and so she insisted on it at all of her hotels. And that's why you should come stay at hotels sort of familiar. Stick at this point. I know but it worked for for helmsley hotels in the nineteen eighty s until it didn't turns out despite being a billionaire despite not only the image of immense wealth but the actuality of it leona helmsley and her husband had engaged in a number of chiseling tax cheats including having a whole bunch of renovations. Done at a helmsley vacation. Home in greenwich connecticut. Leona helmsley's private home renovations on that home including like putting in a dancefloor and stuff but she builds the renovations to the hotel company. She had the helmsley hotel company. Paid to do those renovations on her private home that had for her the double benefit of her not having to pay for those renovations herself and also her hotel company got to deduct the payments as a business expense. Even though they weren't it was just stuff. She wanted personally yes. She went to prison the trial where she got convicted Probably made her even more famous than her. hotels had. this is headline july twelfth. Nineteen eighty nine in the new york. Times made testifies helmsley denied paying taxes. Quote leona helmsley. Once told a housekeeper at her connecticut home that only the little people pay taxes. The housekeeper testified yesterday at mrs helmsley's tax fraud and extortion trial. The witness elizabeth bomb said the conversation took place at the helmsley's home in greenwich four to six weeks after she was hired in september. Nineteen eighty-three miss baum said that she and mrs helmsley. We're in a back hall of the eleven million dollar home. I said you must pay a lot. Of taxes is bomb testified. She said we don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes. Ms baum testified that staff salaries were paid by helmsley businesses and that her paycheck was issued by the harley hotel. Chain which is based in cleveland miss baum also said she ordered groceries and household supplies for the greenwich house from the park lane hotel in new york city. The items were delivered in a hotel van. She said assistant. Us attorney kathy. Cyborg ask ms bomb. If she ever purchased food locally in greenwich. She said she did so only a few times. She testified quote. I bought something for the house that we ate. She testified that when she asked mrs helmsley to reimburse her for the cost of that food mrs helmsley said to her quote. You bought it you pay for it real peach right leona. Only the little people pay taxes. Helmsley went to prison for that scheme and more. That's that's game in which she used her business as a tool for chiseling petty tax fraud. Which is both a crazy thing for a super-rich person to bother with right and it turns out. It's exactly the kind of crime that super rich people think they can get away with and that they can get caught for particularly if they are brazen about it. I mean leona homes. It was having her business pay or provide for her personal living expenses including the salaries for her made and other servants at her private vacation home in the renovations there even the food there should the business pay for all of it instead of her pain for it that meant nothing comes out of her pocket and the business gets to deduct all of that for tax purposes. She was convicted on thirty. three counts. people sort of famously shouted at her and taunted her on on the courthouse steps up to her conviction. She went to prison in nineteen ninety two when she got out of prison. She had a community service hours to perform. She apparently tried to get her employees to perform the community service for her. The court found out about it and so then she got more hours. The on a helmsley died in two thousand seven. Nearly every headline on every obituary called the ex-convict the queen of mean when she died using business to pay for your personal stuff as a way to avoid taxes. That's a tried and true way to go to prison and being famous doesn't necessarily help you. Avoid that being infamous or being famous you remember on seinfeld. There was a character called the soup. Nazi he we ever rule in this. Show don't talk about nazis unless you're talking about actual nazis except in the case of the soup nazi. That was his character on the show. He had all these really specific rules. For how exactly you were supposed to order soup at his restaurant and if you didn't follow the rules he screamed at you. No soup for you. The soup nazi on seinfeld was based on a real guy. A storefront soup place on west fifty fifth street in manhattan. Run by a guy who really would scream at you if you didn't order fast enough or if you didn't stand in exactly the right place the cfo for the soup nazi's soup company. Went to prison turns out for years. If god forbid you worked at the soup nazi place you would get paid through. All sorts of little chiseling off the books schemes designed to avoid taxes. And so the dude went to prison running your business in such a way that your business provides personal stuff to executives of the company and then writes it off like those are business. Expenses compensating the employees at your business in ways that are designed to hide that compensation from tax authorities. These are tried and true path's to prison even if you're not like a tax accountant even somebody who studies these things even if you're not a lawyer if you're somebody who just watch is seinfeld or read a single tabloid newspaper in the eighties even for comically high profile people. This is a tried and true way to end up in the crowbar hotel. Which is why presumably most people who try to commit those crimes no that they ought to be subtle about it. Mostly not all though and what new york prosecutors spelled out in court today was a variety of this kind of alleged crime that.

William Barr Sees ‘No Reason’ for Special Counsels for Hunter Biden, Election
"With President Donald Trump. Outgoing Attorney General William Barr said today he saw no reason. To appoint a special counsel to look into the president's claims of election front or attacks and the tax investigation into the son of President elect Joe Biden things that Trump has really been looking forward to try to prove by the way, because let's face it. The sad reality of this. I don't care what you think about whether or not There was any election fraud or anything when it came to the coverage of the election. The media. Was if you don't believe that the mainstream media is now in Kohut when it comes to what they will and will not report You're kidding yourself. You're a fool. That's all there is to it. They bent over backwards not to report anything that hunter Biden did. I mean, there was a lad, Can you imagine? ALF. I will eventually finish a sentence. Yes. Can you imagine? If Donald Trump Jr or Ivanka Trump or any of the trump Children, even Tiffany If any of them had left the laptop. At a repair shop forgot about it. And then the information that was on one about that was on it about Hunter. Biden came out about one of the trump kids, can you there would have been wall to wall coverage. They would have. They would have preempted the mast singer just to talk about the trump Children like that, But because it was hunter Biden. Not only did they not talk about it, they full on hit it. I mean, when you're not when it's when you've got something like that, right in your face when you've got a practically a full on admission that he is using his father's influence in order to financially benefit himself when there's pictures of him using drugs on a laptop. And you don't do anything about it when there's absolutely no reporting about that. Anywhere but fringe news organizations. I mean, come on. I don't even care what you think about it because you know that if it was one of the trump Children, and that was out there, there would have been like I said, Wall to wall coverage. There would have been exposes. They would have taken off regular programming and gone news wall. The wall there would have been. I mean, you would have been able to avoid it. As it stands unless you had a particular political bent. You would have had to go out of your way to find the actual information about Hunter Biden, So it's It's really kind of disgusting now in its final press conference Mar also broke with Trump in reinforcing that federal officials believe Russia was behind the cyber espionage operation targeting the U. S government government. Trump has suggested without evidence that China could be responsible Bar said the investigation and 100 Biden's financial dealings with being handled responsibly and professionally. He said. I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave. The reason that Trump wants a special counsel is because if there's a special counsel in investigating it It would make it more difficult for Biden to shut it down the way the investigation is right now, if when a Democratic age comes in, they can. They can shut it down and given the fact that pretty easily by the way, given the fact that what I was just saying that the mainstream media would wouldn't even touch the story with a 10 FT pole. If they shut the investigation down. If Biden the points is a ghee and gets in there, and the first thing they do is shut the investigation down. Odds are pretty good. You won't hear about it.
