Dear Rudy: Go pound sand. Targets of investigation don’t get to dictate how long the investigation goes on. You can either cooperate or you can get a subpoena delivered to your client. Your grasp of the law now is no better than your grip on reality. What is amazing is how you can mindlessly parrot your client’s obvious nonsense such as the special counsel’s office being nothing but Democrats. Do us a favor and crawl back under that rock with the other vermin. ---
