I call bullshit. If you or I were caught with top secret documents at our house AFTER we illegally took them and the government ASKED nicely for us to return them and we lied and said that we did - we'd have been in jail within the hour of the raid. We'd have been indicted that day, brought to trial within a couple of months and would be doing hard time by now.
Milqutoast Merrick is a wimp who is not doing his job. Trumo should have been doing time a year ago.
