Apparently plead guilty to at 4:00. $20 million in potential bank fraud crimes are part of this case, so you have that. it will be interesting to hear in court today the campaign finance issue. as we see this tape of him surrendering, thats the fbi offices in lower manhattan. hell go in there and be fingerprinted, be photographed like any other defendant and be driven out of the garage by fbi and irs agents who led the investigation into this case, over to federal court where hell be escorted by...

Amanda, matthew, who are not here because theyre in court at the presentment. and investigators kevin song and george corey as well as the supervisors of our unit who are here with me. the folks in that unit working the fbi, the nypd, the jttf, have a long and unblemished track record of successfully investigating and prosecuting domestic and international terrorists. whether it is the chelsea bomber just convicted a few weeks ago on all counts who will be serving mandatory life in prison. or th...
