believed that he was going to do some of this crazy stuff because at least initially back in 2016 i kind of shoved it off like oh my god come on that's ridiculous um but now we're in a second term here and he's carrying some of it out and it's terrifying uh and it's reached a whole new level than anything that we saw in that first term well do you think there's any end in sight to this or is it it's going to your your last is the court the sort of a the last place you can go

blocked out the bca from getting critical and important evidence that would have allowed them to run this investigation side by side with the fbi sure and the bc would have been a normal way to do business back in in the normal way i mean it has it has done that before um that's the way we have operated before uh but but and you know barring that yeah i would like the bca to do the investigation themselves and of course there will be support
Much of it, obviously.
But, you know, we're going to keep providing important constituent services.
We do the work of the city.
