as I put in the other thread:

Basically her points are these:
1)Smith is trying to get witnesses. Then she speculates about the things witnesses might do. This is not new information.

2)Epshteyn is in big trouble. Maybe he'll flip. Maybe not. This is not new information.

3) Smith is likely considering charges about the documents. This is not new information

4) There is likely a debate within the DOJ about charges on the documents case. This is not new information.

5) There is likely a debate within the DOJ about the best venue for a case. This is not new information.

6) Trump's lawyers actions indicate they are pursuing a weak line on the documents case. This is not new information.

7) Then she speculates about Trump's possible motives for taking the documents. OK. Good to know this is her opinion, I guess.

8) And she points out that we STILL don't have all the documents. And they are treating their retrieval, as always, with kid gloves.

What hard facts (not speculation) did you find in that article that you didn't know before?
