Fruman did not sign any cooperation agreement with prosecutors. He agreed to a maximum sentence of 46 months behind bars as part of the agreement.
We’ll see how he feels about a cooperation agreement after about twelve months. No club fed for him.

And by local elections I believe those were in FL. So how many local campaign managers are sweating in FL, and not from COVID?
I also wonder if any of those foreign campaign funds ended up in those “shadow candidate’s” campaigns?
And just on a side note, Rudy seems to be the bait that attracts all the schmoes.
