But, you know, they had tips about him involved in narcotics trafficking.

They had tips about him involved in money laundering.

They had lots of other things that they had over the years, and they just never really pursued them.

I always say people just want to keep pointing fingers.

And I always say sexual assault doesn't discriminate based on political party.

And there were people, you know, I try to avoid even saying who what party so-and-so was from unless it seems relevant to the piece that I'm writing.

Because to me, it doesn't matter if you're committing sexual assault or you're committing any kind of a crime.

It doesn't matter.

This was a crime.

It was a crime and it should have been investigated like that.

And it wasn't.

It really wasn't investigated like that.

But even that was watered down when we were able to find out.

I mean, his lawyers were brilliant.

They were brilliant.

One of the things that they did, it was such a small thing,

but it made a big difference was that the original victim in the case was 14.

They changed the agreement so that the actual count that he pleaded to, they slid in a victim who was 16.

So therefore, in some states, it's not a crime to have sex with someone who is 16.

But 14, most states you can't.
