Like this, a white collar case, where the charges and the conduct is so similar that you would have both sentences run consecutively. so if hes only going to get a few more years anyway on the d.c. case, it a-- its a lot of time, a lot of efforts, a lot of resources and a lot of witnesses that youre putting on the stand that can be cross examined on their testimony later that you might want to avoid. theres a lot of reasons short of cooperation why bob mueller would want to avoid this trial and ...
