Also, it appears that he wrote a letter stating that he was, indeed,
intending to get Trump. Since this was entered in court, it has a
certain amount of ... plausibility ... other stories do not, although
given the Kraken suits ... well, this time it's a prosecutor, not an
idiotic Trump lawyer (most of whom have, apparently, been
fined/sanctioned/removed from the bar -- the courts having a low
tolerance for nonsense).
