With respect to why there are no tax charges. as you recall in the trump organization charges, i have never seen a state case in an indictment -- they screamed out over and over again that these are federal crimes, not just state crimes when weisselberg pleaded guilty, it was that these were state and federal tax crimes this is suzanns expertise i have never seen the say the so loudly call out that this warrant -- we have seen nothing at the federal level

Not trying to force and address the issue as hes likely to have to do once this indictment does come through, and it will come through, i believe, very soon. >> do you think this is also kind of just bravado for the court of public opinion as he is heading into yet another election year running for president of the united states. >> i think that it is because as long as he can force people to pay attention to bravado and not the facts, i think that gives him a benefit and an advantage. as long a...

His right, if thats the charge, yet drag him before the house to go over that in great detail, who is weaponizing whom? >> its becoming an escalating fight here. i dont think mr. bragg has any obligation to appear before the house. they have no jurisdiction to get involved in this matter at all. its a state case. theres no federal interest. i think frankly this is an attempt to interfere with the workings of justice. you can criticize the case. the case does raise some issues. and theres a taint...
