I think we were very close to resolving our differences in a way that was acceptable to the Department of Justice, but it’s clear that the president decided that was unacceptable.

Well, there’s nothing we could do to rein in the president when he said he likes the fund and he wishes it still exists.

Ultimately, it’s just speculation as to who might actually make a claim for immunity.
