If it was you or I, they would not be “considering” crap! They’d move hard and fast.
Hopefully “the considering” is part of a plea deal in which he gives up info on far bigger fish. If this guy is an entree into the Clintoons and has credible prosecution materials regarding either of them or against the brown bomber, I’d let him walk if it came to that. Weighing his waving his schmekel in front of a camera is low on the list compared to destroying the country.
