by 53ing the taxes they are setting themselves up for more future prosecutions. a lyssa? if in the future the feds decide to enforce federal law in places like washington state and colorado, then their paid tax bills will amount to evidence. >> and attorney rob corey said enforcing the businesses to pay taxes violates the u.s. constitution and foiled a lawsuit in district court on behalf of cloints who say taxes could beoused for prosecutions. >> they are open records and it is a federal crime to sell marijuana. network coloradoans voted to legal otherwise on condition that sales would be heavily taxed and prosoweds going to schools and regulation and each the federal government gets its share. the federal government takes part of money laundering if it is illegal and take it in and use the money is a violation of law itself. >> the attorney who worked in the justice department tax division said the irs just wants money. >> they can collect tax on gross incomes for whatever source derived. they don't care if it is nonlegal or legal. >> the justice department will not inte

to a judge tomorrow, if you have a court constituted. >> in that regard, if you think about future prosecutions, is the state of the existing documentation right now, in your view, sufficient to move forward in various avenues. could you say a little about who is actually involved in documentation of war crimes, crimes against syria? how many cooks are there in the kitchen hour. is there somewhere a coordination mechanism in all of this so that someone at least knows what's coming in. is it all assembled in one place. >> there are efforts to coordinate these things. it's complicated when you don't have a court specifically given jurisdiction over the crime. we want to collect everything available and work closely with syrians. my first engagement with this issue was going out to istanbul and training syrian lawyers and had come just out of the conflict. someone moving back and forth across borders proofing command for responsibility, responsibility for political leaders and for others. also in clearly communicating to them the importance of abiding by international law for armed opposition. cle

sources, thatn of kind of material can be made available, at least for future prosecution. given the fact that what we have done of the international level is often talked about representative times, we can't prosecute everything, we prosecute the strongest cases you have of enslavement, the laois and, child soldiers, whatever -- the drove is already rich enough. -- the trove is already rich enough. ortant to imp collect the information. >> the tactical situation on the ground in syria these days seems to be not very favorable to the opposition. some people are coming to the conclusion that the assad regime has essentially won. the questions of accountability are really not terribly relevant. i am wondering, in your own discussions with syrian opposition, is this question come up about the relevance of accountability data? and given the sheer quantity of evidence that has been collected, as this, and anyway, way, inhibit the ability of the united states in the future to work with the assad regime, if it becomes a more or less permanent feature? there are people out there who

what does it mean for preet bharara and for future prosecution?g us is mitch evepner, former u.s. prosecutor. what'd you think of this defeat? >> i think it was a reach too far for preet bharara and the u.s. attorney's office. they went forward with a case where, frankly, the proof was not as strong as it's been perhaps in some of the prosecution against the older brother. >> maybe you could have seen this coming, because some of the charges had been dropped, a couple of fraud charges. the judge dropped those a few months ago, right? >> yeah. everything that sort of underlaid the case, the substantive charges were thrown out. so, all that was left was conspiracy. we did hear rengan on tape at his brother's trial. so, the case was that he was involved in the conspiracy, even if he didn't do insider trading himself. but as you heard, maybe it was a bridge too far for the u.s. attorney. >> i do wonder what this means for additional prosecutions now, mitch? >> well, the big question that's out there is whether in order to be found guilty of insider tr
