In 2012, Vance met with an attorney for the pair, Marc Kasowitz, who had previously given him $25,000. An additional $32,000 was donated after the office declined to prosecute Ivanka and Trump Jr.

They might also look into the Strauss Kahn case and the way aspects of the Weinstein case was bungled. I am thrilled. The problem was he just ran again, unopposed. People were so fed up it was urged to write in names. Vance needs to go.
