Um, and I think it will, my belief is that it will end up helping President Trump among a America, a large part of American public who believes that the, that the judicial system and the enforcement system have been weaponized against politically and that's bad for our country. And I think it's a mistake for the Democratic Party. I think the Democratic Party believes that it has a candidate that can't be President Trump and that they need to do it in the court.
