Yep. Crystal clear that you can't talk about this without muddying the water. "THEY USED THE AGENCY MODEL" just doesn't bring anything to the legal/illegal table. It's empty calories. Collusion is the beginning and end of the DoJ's case.
Everything hinges on proving it. The rest is noise. I hate pointless noise.
