O’Callaghan on Trump: I Don’t Understand What Prevented the Southern District from Giving the Manhattan DA‘s Office Whatever They Were Asking For

RUSH EXCERPT:
O'CALLAGHAN: "I have to tell you, Paula, two incredibly unusual in my experience that given where obviously we know the southern district of new yorke had some cases, most prominently the Michael Cohen case. And presumably some of these documents are coming from their cache of documents that were developed in their investigation of that case. But that case has been long over. Michael Cohen has already served his jail sentence and he‘s back out. And so I find it difficult to understand what was that prevented southern district from giving the Manhattan da‘s office whatever they were asking for, that was relevant either inculpatory information shouldn‘t or exculpatory, frankly, even more importantly, for the defense in my experience, and as the Southern District of New York prosecutor, there was a strong rivalry with the Manhattan da‘s office frankly, the only time that you would keep information from another prosecutor‘s office that is representing to you that they can use it either in a case that‘s already charged or further investigate is when I thought I still had invented let‘s take a look at avenues to pursue. And I thought that there was something in that cache of documents that I wanted to make sure I ran to grant. Now, I‘m not saying that. I‘m aware of anything like that happening in the sudden district of New York, but that‘s really the only justifiable reason I could, I could imagine that they didn‘t immediately turn it over at the request of de a brack.
