And really who knows what would happen. >> i think the thing that trump does know is that this isnt as much about the legality as it is the political case. thats what he is doing when he defends himself on twitter and it drives his lawyers crazy when he talks out of school and says whatever he feels like and says things that arent true. thats what makes him so difficult to defend. he knows at the end of the day this isnt a legal matter. no matter what public schomuell with, its a political matte...
