It’s just a big misunderstanding. All the Fed prosecutors, the grand jurors, etc. They just made a mistake because they didn’t see all the evidence he has to show that all the evidence they’ve been getting on him for the past decade is actually proof he’s innocent! You’ll see. He’s squeaky clean.
Isn’t he also a cop?
