Thank you very much for being here. trjts thank you. we started covering this five years ago and it never came to anything in terms of the substance of this. nobody ever seems to have figured out whether there was anything going on between alfa bank and the trump organization. because of that, the story hasslingered and the loose end interest been frayed and out there in the wind all of this time. that said, regardless of the underlying suspicions that gave rise to this as a story in the first place, what is your opinion of the strength of the legal case here? the prospect of this lawyer being indicted for having brought this stuff to the fbi? well, i guess i would withhold judgment until i see what the case is and what the facts are that it s based on. we have some reporting, i guess i don t know if we know the whole story. based on the reporting i hear, i don t hear any evidence of the essential element of materiality. that is you know, not every ....

The michael flynn case dismissed that case because they found that his statements were not material. you remember that he lied to at fbi about what he said to the russian ambassador during the transition time. if those aren t material, it s really difficult to see how this omission or false statement is in any way material here. also it strikes me again, looking at this as a non-lawyer, the statute of limitations is the end of the week. it s a five-year statute of limitations. it appears to expire this weekend. should we read into that? does that suggest anything about the strengths or merits of the case given that durham is against clock and the fact that the details of at least this indictment that they are seeking appear to have been spelled out in a lot of detail to the press? yeah, i don t know. you get that fifth year because you get the fifth year. that time is part of it. ....

So it s a strong case and they filed their motion for preliminary injunction yesterday full of what s actually happened on the ground. i mean, when all of us sued texas, you know, back earlier this year, it was before the law went into effect, and we said these were going to be the effects if it happened. now the department of justice has the actual testimony about what has happened in the two weeks and they are just heartbreaking stories. it is disappointing that the judge is not going to hear this until the 1st of october because, as you pointed out, that is going to be a whole month that texans have been deprived of their constitutional rights. the harm on the ground is real and severe. i m interested both legally and practically also from what we re learning in our reporting on this and talking to people in the field about how the material effects here are, obviously, happening to texas women seeking abortion and now can t get it because it s effectively outlawed in the state, an ....
