gray and amanda roadcamp. i'd especially like to thank associate dean chris arndt who handled the logistical side of things. thanks to you. so we also wouldn't be here without john grisham. [laughter] the idea for this came from my wife christy. hey, christy. john's last book tour, wherever he went he would bring a local writer on, and they'd do a podcast, and john would kind of interview the writer. christy said john is really good at this, he should have his own show. so here it is, this is his show. [laughter] and so i knew that john was really generous with his time and his money. you couldn't go, i couldn't -- in straussville, you can't go three days without hearing some story for him doing something nice for the community or helping someone out who needs a helping hand. now that i've got to know him, i can say it is true. i think most of his friends would agree. we'd be friends with him if he were a gravedigger. you've never met someone who with wears their fame so lightly. he's a regular person. of course, he is not a gravedigger, he is a famous writer. i looked it up. first i asked him how many books have you sold. he said, i have no idea. that shows you

gray areas. this is a situation that is relatively unusual in some respects. i think one precedent people point to, and the gentleman who it, called maybe alluded to the john edwardse from several years ago where prosecutors brought charges against john edwards that were about payments to a paramore, and the question was whether the payments should be treated as a campaign expenditure. a lot of people have pointed to that case as precedent. a hungards, there was jury on many charges, and he was acquitted on one charge. there are differences in fact between that case and this. one of the discussions ranging among campaign experts is whether that is a true precedent. the timing of the payments was different. in the edwards case, you do not necessarily have people saying the payments were made to help the campaign. those are differences people are pointing to. i think whether that precedent applies or not, we will have to see how that plays out. host: let's go to dana calling from washington, d.c., on the democratic line. good morning. caller: great. thank you for taking my question, ms. levine. caller: -- guest: thank you for calling. caller: i remember clearly repo
