This is a building block of a corruption picture. Daniel Goldman is sharp. I don't get it.

Hopefully, maybe by the time Rachel rolls in, they will have a better read, and more appreciation of what is in the indictment....If my name was on the docs, oh boy...hang it up...

I don't think even the prosecutors know how this will end as they're also just following the evidence.

He's just as likely to be wrong as someone who's convinced Trump will be prosecuted.
