Right up until the laptop showed up he was right. Then we got the multiple different stories... "That's not mine." "Well, it's not mine but I'm going to sue you for having my laptop." "Okay it is mine, but you've faked stuff"... "Okay you didn't fake stuff, but that's mine and you can't have it!" "Okay, I left it there and it became the property of someone else and that's my bad, but the IRS can't give you data!" "The IRS has whistleblowers?! I'm going to sue again!" "What? They have bank records to match up with the text messages of me paying dad's bills and thus him benefitting from my crooked schemes?! Well, when dad spoke with my business "friends" at breakfast it was only about the weather! We thought giving access to the man would create an 'illusion' of access because nothing is as illusory as actually speaking with someone and having access." "Yeah, the timing of the firing of the prosecutor looks strange since it happened right after my business partners called begging for help... but, but... it's not 'evidence' if you look at it cross eyed and from another dimension where evidence doesn't exist!"
It's all just Russian disinformation! Yeah! That's it! We say that and it will all go away!
