I feel like Mars has all of the phone records and is really just playing with OM at this point. He is going through the motions to look as though he obtained them through the proper channels but I think OM realizes he already has them all and is just delaying the inevitable. I think a few weeks back when he announced that he had hired the counter-terrorism guy, OM knew it was over as far as the phone records but is hoping to have their meeting before they are released.
For the lawyers out there, what would be the legal ramifications of him obtaining the records some way other than OM releasing them to him?
