step so they didn't want to do it just because it's important. I like that. I like the fact that they weren't willing to do it just because it's important because that wasn't the right reason.

I like it. I'm…

ke you're flying blind. So you don't need to change your opinion that it's completely political because I think there's enough obvious evidence for that but if you think you proved it because of this I don't see it. You're going to have to do better.

I'm just going to guess what he would say. Here's what I guess. We tried to do speedy trials and not waste money and I tried to skip an unnecessary step that both sides prosecution etc. probably thought were unnecessary.
