Pam Bondi is Cooked

Attorney General Pam Bondi faces a "legendary meltdown" during congressional testimony on the Epstein files, characterized by evasive answers and insults toward Representative Thomas Massey regarding illegal redactions of Les Wexner's name. While pivoting to praise the Dow Jones index, Bondi refused to release unredacted documents involving Donald Trump or Ghislaine Maxwell, citing attorney-client privilege despite the deaths of key figures. The hosts condemn this cover-up, noting that victims were ignored while President Trump defended her performance on Truth Social, ultimately revealing an administration prioritizing secrecy over transparency and child safety.

Heavens Hand Us a Show 00:05:29
What's up, everyone?
Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem.
I am Dave Smith.
He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein, and we got a lot to talk to you about today.

Bunch of fun stuff coming up.
ComicDave Smith.com.
The other thing I want to make sure I let everybody know that my amazing wife, her children's book, Healthy Hibernation, just came out in paperback.
It is available over at Amazon.
We were blown away by the reception to the book.
And we actually had some issues where there was way too much demand.
It was more than was anticipated.
And there were some issues at a time, but the paperback is out now and all the issues have been resolved.
So you can go order that and you'll get it quickly.
Healthy Hibernation, it's a beautiful, sweet children's book about eating healthy.
And it's just very nice and sweet and not controversial at all, like some of the stuff that we're about to get into.
But go grab it, please.
It means the world to us if you can.
All right, Rob.
Let's get into it.
You know, Rob, sometimes we got to plan a show, and then sometimes the heavens just hand us a show.
And that's what's happened today.
Now, of course, for the last couple of weeks, the Epstein files have been dominating the news and dominating this show because how could it not?
Yesterday, Pam Bondi, the sitting attorney general, went and testified before Congress about the Epstein files.
And I think it can only objectively be described as a legendary meltdown.
I mean, something, it really was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
You were kind of wondering as it was approaching, what can she possibly say here?
I mean, it looks so bad for her.
The whole administration, but her, as much as any other individual, are just totally caught with their pounds down.
They lied their ass off.
It's been proven that they lied.
I mean, it was down to the fact that it was, she had to testify 24 hours after Massey had proven that the Justice Department had illegally redacted the name of a co-conspirator in child sex trafficking.
Anyway, you were wondering what could she possibly say?
Well, if you haven't already heard, we're going to find out because she gets asked those questions precisely.
But you were almost wondering, like, what can she possibly say when she goes into this?
And it almost, it does feel to me, I know I've made this comparison before, but almost like the only propaganda campaigns that I can compare them to, they're the two worst ones I've ever seen.
It's this one, the Epstein Files, and Behind Closed Doors, Biden is Sharp as Attack.
You're just like, you almost can't believe that's what you went with.
Like, was there a meeting and people settled on this is okay?
Were there any dissidents there?
Was there anyone at the meeting who went, I don't know if this is the right way to handle it.
But either way, this is what ended up happening.
In a way, it was a flawless performance.
And allow me to explain.
Yeah.
If you had some sort of reasonable explanation for the handling, or even wanted to say, Hey, we're under a timeline and we just had some goof ups, but we're doing our best here and we're actually going to move forward with investigations.
Then she could have came off like a reasonable person.
But considering that I guess they've only worked to cover it up and she had absolutely no cards to play, I've never seen somebody stall and criticize the person who was asking questions, refuse to give the yes, no answers, and go, Hey, give me my chance so that I can answer this.
And then just fill as much time as possible with diversions.
I mean, by the way, some of her things were on the level of the South Park with the We Want Our Privacy, where she starts yelling at someone about how they're diverting and then not answering their question and talking about something that's completely irrelevant.
So it was everything came up that was irrelevant.
Everything.
Like it was like, I mean, there were so many moments through this thing where someone would just be like, okay, you lied through your fucking teeth and we have it right here in writing.
And what do you have to say for yourself?
And she's like, this guy voted against the build back better, Bill.
Brain Coffee Sponsor Segment 00:02:35
You're just like anything, dude.
Just anything to talk about, anything except for the thing that we're all here to talk about.
And I do, I know what you mean, Rob.
Like on some level, on some weird sick level, you're almost a little bit in awe of her.
You're like, wow, you really help.
You know, it's, you know what it reminded me of?
I don't know if you have, I make Seinfeld references every now and then, but Seinfeld was a really great show.
It was on in the 90s in a better time, in a better, whiter America.
So there was this episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza is dating some chick who's got a kid and he's he's like at the birthday party and a fire breaks out and he panics and he pushes the kids over and pushes his girlfriends over and starts screaming and he tries to escape.
And then they catch him outside and he just won't break from his story.
And they're like, but George, what you panicked?
And he's like, what may seem like panicking was getting it.
He's like, but you pushed over children.
And he's like, the safest place to be in a fire is on the floor.
And he keeps having an excuse.
And then at one point, the fireman just walks up to himself and he goes, How do you live with yourself?
And he goes, it's not easy.
He just won't break.
Like, he just won't break character.
And it's like, we all saw, this was Pam Bondi.
She just Georg Costanza her way through this entire thing.
It was really something to watch.
All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Body Brain Coffee, the brainchild of Louis J. Gomez.
Really thrilled to have them on board.

And there's nothing that's more basic to that than how you fuel your own body every morning.
Body Brain Coffee is real Colombian coffee, not some watered down mushroom sludge.
It tastes like actual premium coffee because it is actual premium coffee, but it's also blended with adaptogens and nootropics that support healthy testosterone levels, mental clarity, and sustained energy without jitters or crashes.
Body Brain is designed for men who take responsibility seriously, men who want to think clearly, train hard, and still have something left in the tank at the end of the day.
There's no sugar bombs, no gimmicks, just great tasting Colombian coffee with functional ingredients that actually do something.

All right, let's get back into the show.
Let's jump into this.
I want first to play what I do.
And there's some competition, but I do feel like this was the clip of the whole hearing.
It's the one that's been going super viral.
There's several that are great, but this one was, it was just unbelievable.
What can you say?
Take it away, Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Dow, the Dow right now is over.
The Dow is over $50,000.
I don't know why you're laughing.
You're a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin.
The Dow is over $50,000 right now.
The SP at almost $7,000.
And the NASDAQ smashing records.
Americans' 401ks and retirement savings are booming.
That's what we should be talking about.
We should be talking about making Americans safe.
We should be talking about what does a Dow have to do with anything?
That's what they just asked.
Are you kidding?
Mr. Jordan, am I committing the Dow.
Okay.
Just to be clear here, she goes, What does that have to do with anything they asked?
And it's because this is a hearing on Jeffrey Epstein.
And you, ma'am, are the attorney general.
What are you talking about?
She just literally, she's just getting creamed.
And so she just pivots to the Dow is high.
It's really just unbelievable.
This woman runs the Justice Department.
What does this even have to do with anything?
It seems like essentially she's just trying to not get fired.
So she's just playing to Donald Trump and going, Donald Trump's amazing.
This hearing should be about how Donald Trump's amazing.
I don't know, Rob.
What can you say?
I mean, firstly, my ears still hurt from listening to this meeting.
She just comes off like an absolutely raging lunatic and pivoting from instead of answering your question, I'm going to campaign for Donald Trump and talk about what we should be.
Well, that's not what this is about, nor is that your job.
Your job has nothing to do with the stock market or really how Donald Trump is performing as a president.
You're not here to campaign for Donald Trump.
You're actually not part of the White House.
You're the Justice Department.
That's a different role.
And we're talking about that part, which has a lot to do with American safety, actually.
We're actually very specifically criticizing a lane by which a lot of Americans feel unsafe because they think that there's a deep state apparatus, which might include intelligence agencies that are working against American women and kids.
That's a real reason why a lot of us feel unsafe is this two-tier justice system and the way that you covered up for this.
One of my other big takeaways was the heel turn of some characters.
Jim Jordan was legendary through COVID, and he's kind of letting her get away with murder the whole meeting.
And every single Republican that didn't take the opportunity to ask him, ask her about what was going on with Epstein, but instead pivoted to other topics to basically fill time.
I think they showed their cards 100% of being disinterested in this topic and covering for the administration.
100%.
100%.
That's right.
Couldn't agree with all of that more.
You know, one thing, and I can't help myself, but have a little bit of an autistic libertarian moment here, because this is totally beside the point.
And just, but just to your point, yes, this is a total distraction and has nothing to do with the Epstein hearing.
It's just so pathetic that she would just turn into a Trump cheerleader and try to say somehow that it's like, I'm sorry.
It was when I saw this clip the first time, I fucking laughed because it's ridiculous to be talking about this.
And as I'm watching it back here with you now, I'm laughing again at it.
And then she goes, what are you laughing at?
Like both times I was laughing and then she goes, what are you laughing at?
And you go, oh, we're laughing at you for being ridiculous.
Like what we're laughing at your pathetic, desperate attempt to change the subject to anything other than the fucking sex trafficking that you're protecting.
Like, I don't know.
But I'd be remiss if I did not just make the point that it is also just the lowest IQ political brag that, oh, the Dow Jones is high.
Look at the S ⁇ P numbers.
They're at all time highs.
As if like, you know, like, I know a bunch of people have already made this joke, but it's like, she's literally going like, Lizard, yes, we protected all the people in the Epstein files, but just so you know, they are all doing really great in the stock market right now.
Like, you know, I don't even know the numbers exactly.
I think, double check me on this, but I think it's something like it's close to half of the country is just not in the market at all.
Maybe it's like 40% or something like that.
But like 40% of Americans don't have retirement accounts.
40% of Americans, you know what I'm saying?
Like there, there's, you go look at those numbers about how many people can't put together $1,000 without using credit card debt in case of an emergency.
Like, so even when you're bragging about how high the stock market is, to anybody who's not doing well, that is just meaningless to them.
Like all essentially, and in the same sense, Rob, as like if you, so if housing prices are going up, that's nice if you own a house.
That really sucks if you're trying to buy a house, right?
Like if you're a first-time home buyer, if you're in your 30s and you've been saving money, you know what I mean?
Maybe you got like a little bit of money saving toward a down payment and the price of housing shoots up.
Well, you're screwed.
You know what I mean?
That ruins your.
Well, in the same sense, if you're not in the stock market and the stock market shoots through the roof, that just means the barrier to entry is that much higher for you.
It's just that much more expensive to buy in now.
So it's also like, that's not a brag for those people.
In fact, I don't know, Rob, am I misremembering this?
But didn't, didn't our buddy Ryan, Ryan Long, that is hilarious comedian, didn't he have a sketch about this?
I think he had a sketch.
I think it was, I think it was during lockdowns when the stock market hit its all-time high.
And then he had like a sketch about it.
It was like roommates were like the stock market and the real economy.
And like one of them's like all sick and dying.
And then the stock market guy is just like doing rails of coke.
It was a real funny sketch.
I'm pretty sure I'm remembering this right.
But to be clear, you know, which other president bragged about record high, a record high stock market?
Rob, do you remember?
All of them.
This is why we're in an this is what an inflationary economy is.
George W. Bush bragged about the record high stock market.
Barack Obama bragged about it.
Donald Trump the first time bragged about it.
Joe Biden in the middle of lockdowns bragged about it.
And now Donald Trump's bragging about it again.
It's all a complete, yeah, oh, we flood the economy with money and the price of everything keeps going up and up and up.
That's proof that we're doing a bang up job.
No, it's not.
That is actually, hold on one second.
Let me hear you could say, go ahead, Rob, if you wanted to say something.
I just want to pull one thing up.
Yeah, well, I did laugh about anytime they brag about the stock market because I just never feel that good that this thing's going up forever.
And are you going to take the other side of it if it goes down?
But obviously, it was just an irrelevant pivot.
And the fact that she came in with a binder of insults, I have clapbacks.
I'm going to yell them at you.
Well, you're asking me about this, but what about this thing that happened in your district?
Right.
Well, I wasn't called in for questioning on that.
And yours is the bigger issue.
And then it was particularly creepy that she had a binder with notes of who had searched the information that was available to members of Congress and what they had searched.
So this lady's not, I guess they do have good AI tools to actually monitor information.
They do have their ability to do their homework and know what's going on.
You know what I mean?
Like you like to think it's just the ineptitude that they weren't able to go through these documents.
But if you're telling me they have the technology to actually monitor every congressperson and what they searched within the documents, they got some pretty good AI tools for monitoring this information.
Yep.
They always got, they got the best facial recognition ever to get the January 6th guys.
You know what I mean?
They got the best.
You know, it's only the guys they don't want to get that they seem to have problems with.
Let me just, I literally just Googled the last 10 record high stock markets.
And this is what I guess the Google, the Google AI or whatever thing when you search now.
So it gave me, this is what it gave me.
It gave the last 10 S ⁇ P 500 record highs.
Okay.
So just going through this, in number 10, March 24th, 2000, intraday high of 1,552.87.
And then it says in parentheses, dot-com bubble.
So I guess this is this is under Bill Clinton still would be his last year in office.
This is the height of the dot-com bubble.
Then you got October 11th, 2007.
The intraday record was 1576.
This is right before the financial crash when we hit the record high at that point.
Okay.
Then the next one is August 26th, 2014.
It surpassed 2,000 points.
July 20th, 2019, it surpassed 3,000 points.
February 19th, 2020, pre-pandemic high of 3,386.
Then August 18th, 2020, Rob, in the middle of lockdowns, hit a record high of 3,389.
April 1st, 2021, when Joe Biden was doing such an amazing job with the economy, it hit a new record high of over 4,000.
February the 9th, 2024, it surpassed 5,000.
Remember Joe Biden president in his reelection year, bragging about how good the economy was?
All right.
Then November 11th, 2024, this is, of course, after Donald Trump had won the election, but before he came in, it surpassed 6,000.
And now they're bragging that it surpassed 7,000.
What are we talking about here, Rob?
So if you're saying that this is evidence that we're doing such an amazing job, then you're also saying this is evidence that George W. Bush and Barack Obama and Joe Biden also did excellent jobs as president.
You know what?
Excuse me that I don't have enough money in the stock market to go, you know what?
Sacrifice more kids to Mulloch.
That's what's going to dry this thing up.
Yes, like, like, I just have to make the point also that it's also a terrible argument.
But yeah, as if even if it was a good argument that would go, hey, so come on, We got to protect some creepy old men who preyed on young girls.
Like, get the out of here.
It's all so ridiculous.
I mean, it's like just cartoonish.
Um, but again, it in itself, and and look, even just to go, whatever, we'll get back to the Pam Bondi stuff too.
But this is the point she's making, and it's a really, really dumb thing that a lot of people in politics say.
But, like, even for the people, whatever it is, I was saying, like, 40% of people, something like that.
Double check me on that that don't have retirement accounts, even for the people who do, you know, like I mean, I just know, like, talking to like my father-in-law, you know, he's he's been a trucker for 40-something years or whatever.
He's got a little uh pension, but the fact that the SP is going up, or the fact that the Dow Jones is going up, or something like that, or NASDAQ, or whatever, it's dude.
It's these guys are left after a career of working, and the monthly payments that they're getting out of their pension couldn't even possibly give them like a retirement.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like you get a couple of grand a month coming in out of this.
That's not nearly enough.
He's still working.
All his buddies are still working.
Like, it's not because, of course, Rob, the fucking cost of everything way outpaces the you know, cost of living, you know, bonus that they give out or whatever, the cost of living adjustments.
So, it's not as if, like, even the people who are involved in the stock market.
Yeah, Natalie just confirms about 40% of people don't have money in the stock market, about 45% don't have retirement accounts.
So, I was pretty, pretty close there.
But it's like, but the people within, say, the group who does have them, still, the vast majority of them like aren't.
It's not that that means, oh, they're doing great because they have a retirement account.
They're like barely hanging on in a slightly better situation than the person who just doesn't have anything in the market at all.
Anyway, um, here, let's go to the uh the Thomas Massey uh clip because this one, this is what we were really waiting for, Rob, right?
Was the one-on-one showdown between the guy who got the files released, the heroic Thomas Massey, and this lying disgrace, Pam Bondi.
Let's watch recognized.
May I respond very briefly to her statement?
Well, I think we can do that probably on uh one of our one of our members.
Okay, thank you.
I don't want that to get away.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Behind me, I have three documents from the DOJ production that are emblematic of the massive failure of the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
To my right is an email that was sent by the victim's lawyers to the DOJ.
It was a list of names not to redact, or sorry, a list of names not to release.
What did the DOJ do with this email?
They released this email in the document production.
Literally, the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did.
And they're getting phone calls.
A lot of these people didn't want to be known.
And we know you touched the document because you redacted one name and you redacted the lawyer's name, but you left the survivor's name there.
The next document I want to show you, and that was in the title, the victims' survivors' names, right?
The title of this one is Child Sex Trafficking, Co-Conspirators, Fully Redacted.
And by the way, we're going to redact them here.
Les Wexner is in this.
Now, your assistant depth, your deputy attorney general said, Oh, well, he appears hundreds of times in the files, but he doesn't appear in this file until I forced you to release it, where he's listed as a co-conspirator, not to tax evasion, but to child sex trafficking, not to prostitution, not to money laundering, child sex trafficking.
Justice Department Cover Up 00:04:09
And then finally, what we have here is the third exhibit that I have is emblematic of the FD302 release.
These are the documents that we need that you're holding on to and over redacting because they have the names of the men who are implicated.
How do we know?
Because the survivors gave testimony to the FBI and it's in there.
And what happens when you go to the portal at the DOJ to look at what's behind this redaction?
Another redaction.
So we can't even see them.
And then there's some of these files you've pulled down from the website that we will never see because we can't.
Okay, so just pause it right here.
So pause it right here because I got to say, man, it's a really impressive skill.
You know, I'm just such a long-winded motherfucker and I really do good on podcasts, you know, because like that's how I do good when I just have all the time in the world.
But it is a real skill to be like, yo, you have two and a half minutes to set this up.
And Thomas Massey just does a phenomenal job here because Rob, like either just seeing that, you're like, yo, what do you say to that?
Like, this is so, you're caught red-handed.
And I should say, just because I feel like, you know, I don't know, there's a lot going on here.
There's millions of documents and it's, you know, it's hard to figure out how to cover this on a show, like what thing is most important.
And probably we haven't mentioned this yet, but that is a whole nother element of something really fucked up that the Justice Department did here is that they outed, while they're redacting all this shit, they outed a bunch of women who have like, you know, because there's people who may like women who maybe went and spoke to the authorities, but they don't want to like be known or be public or anything like that.
And that is a pretty fucked up thing to just like out them when they don't want to be.
But so he's got her dead to rights there.
He's got her dead to rights on the fact that they illegally covered up a co-conspirator in child sex trafficking.
And then he's got her on the 302s being redacted even for the congressman, Rob.
But I'm sure she's got a good answer for all this stuff, right?
Rob, tell me she's got a good answer for this.
I think the releasing of victims' names was intentional.
And the reason I say that was there was an incident when before Thomas Massey won this effort to get them to release this information.
Mike Johnson did a separate effort that released victims' names, not stated intentionally, but to say, hey, we're doing a better job here.
And it looked to me like they were trying to say, hey, we can't easily do this while protecting victims.
And that's why we can't do it.
And I'm also guessing that that gives them a little bit of cover to go, this was too hastily done.
And this is why we couldn't do it in the time period.
Cause look, we weren't able to protect victims' names.
And so it gives them a little bit of cover to go, yeah, we are inept.
That's why we made these.
That's also why we improperly redacted.
But he's got her dead to rights here that when you did go through this document and actually redact something, that means that somebody looked at it.
And so this is quite the error that when it's clearly labeled, don't release these names and you release them.
So well, it's either it would seem to me to either be gross borderline criminal negligence, right?
Like there's actual harm that's done here.
Or the spectrum is that to something like what you're speculating against.
And look, Rob, once people are willing to cover this type of evil shit up, you know, who's to say what they wouldn't do?
Who's to say that maybe the play there was that they thought, because you got to remember, right?
That a lot of these victims or the alleged victims or whatever you want to say, a lot of these people, they've been a real pain in the ass for the administration, you know?
And I wouldn't put it past any of them that maybe that's an intimidation tactic to try to get them to shut up a little bit.
Like, hey, just so you know, you might be a part, because even for the survivors who don't care about being public, they might care about outing other survivors who didn't want to be public.
Trump Derangement Syndrome 00:14:12
You know, that might be the type of thing that could get you to fucking shut up.
And so who knows?
All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, a brand new sponsor who we're very happy to have on board.

Yeah.
Okay, here, let's play Pam Bondi's response to being nailed to the wall by Thomas Massey.
I have several questions for you.
Who's responsible?
Are you able to track who and your organization made this massive failure and release the victims' names?
Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI document?
Do you have that kind of accountability?
I believe Wexner's name was listed more than 4,000 times about I had.
Yeah, I already told you that.
This is where he's listed.
Can I finish my answer?
Come on.
Let me finish my answer.
We're going to be able to do that.
You just pause it already.
Sorry.
Sorry, bitch.
You don't get to finish your answer right now.
Dude, like, it's like, yeah, you, can you finish your answer?
Yeah.
Well, you opened with utter bullshit.
So like, no, what?
You opened with what he already, because this is, by the way, this is why it's, it's really a fantastic job, Thomas Massey does here is that when you got such a short period of time, he tried his best to just build in the rebuttal to that point already.
That, yeah, they say, and by the, I have seen like a few people on social media actually parrot this defense, which is Rob.
I mean, just so goddamn stupid.
He appears over 4,000 times.
Okay, exactly.
So why is he redacted in the one file that calls him a co-conspirator to child sex trafficking?
Because Rob, obviously there's many major implications about that here.
Number one, everybody in the administration, including the head of the FBI, he testified under oath before Congress that there were no co-conspirators.
And so the fact that he appears 4,000 other times, yeah, that's right.
That's a point of evidence on our side, not your side.
Yeah, that's the point is that you would allow his name to be in there, just not as a co-conspirator to child sex trafficking.
So to fucking go, oh yeah, but he's in there all the time.
Like, get the fuck out of here already.
I'm sorry.
That deserved to be interrupted.
Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
Like, who's dumb enough to fall for that?
All right, let's keep playing.
It's already you're acting like everybody's trying to cover up Wexner's name.
Reclaiming, reclaiming my time.
I'm going to answer this question.
Reclaiming my time, he was actually precisely how it works.
He can reclaim his time.
I've seen goddamn countless congressional hearings.
That's exactly how it works.
It's the only way it works, actually.
It's the only way it's ever worked.
But, like, yeah, they try to filibuster without asking.
But again, this is just so ridiculous, dude.
Like, the idea that someone's trying to redact him and go, okay, well, then it's an awfully big coincidence.
That's what that's what you're saying.
So you're saying he appears 4,000 times.
I guess it's 4,001 now.
But so you're saying he appears 4,001 times.
And yet, the only time he was redacted is when he's called a co-conspirator to child sex trafficking.
Someone, somebody who's smarter than me in our audience, mathematicians out there.
What are the odds of that?
Like, honestly, I want to know what are the odds that an innocent mistake was made one in 4001 or whatever the exact number is, and it happened to be the one where he's labeled a co-conspirator in child sex trafficking.
Seems, it seems unlikely.
I'm not that good at math, but it seems unlikely.
It seems again, I think somebody could actually like, I think you could come up with the percentages on this.
To me, I'll just say it seems wildly more likely that you wanted to cover up the part that would have implicated the entire Trump administration for lying their fucking asses off.
Seems slightly more.
I guess the mass math is that if it was just a random redaction, it was a one in 4,000 chance that it was the single worst piece of information.
Yes, yes.
It's not great.
Not great.
Okay.
Here, let's keep playing.
Answer, the time belongs to the gentleman from the bill up on the screen.
Chairman, may I give an answer on that?
It's a political joke, and I need to give my answer on that.
We'll let the attorney general respond and then the gentleman can move to chairman's questions.
My turn within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
Red-handed.
There was one redaction out there.
And we invited you in.
This guy has Trump derangement syndrome.
He needs to get you're a failed politician.
Chairman, please restore his time and remind the witness of the power.
There is no credible information.
None.
If there were, I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals.
Is that your position as well?
My position is: any victim who comes forward, of course, we would love to hear from them.
1-800 call FBI.
Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years?
Did you talk about Epstein?
I am reclaiming my time.
I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.
I'm going to reclaim this.
This is bigger than Watergate.
When I don't answer questions, this goes over four administrations.
You don't have to go back to Biden.
Let's go back to Obama.
Let's go back to George Bush.
This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.
And that's where the message is.
I want to know at what point, at what point, did the FBI and the DOJ decide that Lex Wesner was not a co-conspirator?
Because our Epstein Files Transparency Act requires you, please put it back on the screen, to release the internal decision about whether to prosecute him or not.
And it's not in the files, and it's not in the files for any of these other men.
One of the gentlemen has may she answer.
And he's a hypocrite because he voted against the ban that we were talking about on deep fake AI porn.
Only two people voted against it.
And you were one of them, hypocrite.
It's possible.
You can't believe it's real.
She goes, but you voted bad on an AI porn bill.
What?
What?
I mean, look, then this, this almost became like a national IQ test slash integrity test.
You're like, who is that?
She just throws, she is caught red-handed here, not only like committing crimes.
Like it's illegal for them to do everything that they did here.
It's illegal for them to redact the name of a co-conspirator.
And as Thomas Massey here points out too, it's also illegal for them not to explain the process of like whatever.
I think it was a 2019 memo had him as a co-conspirator.
It's like, okay, so was there a point after that where you decided he wasn't?
How did you, why did you decide not to prosecute this guy?
Like, oh, that's supposed to be included.
And it wasn't.
And what does she throw out in response, Rob?
You have Trump derangement syndrome.
Like, wait, what?
That's what Trump deranged?
No, no, no.
Trump derangement syndrome was when you blamed Trump for a whole bunch of shit that he didn't do.
And you saw everything as Trump being a unique evil and him being responsible for everything.
That Russia gate was Trump derangement syndrome.
This is, he's presenting proof.
Like, what do you, and then, Rob, it's, it's like, it's like this thing where like Donald Trump, for all his, you know, flaws, and there are too many to list off right now, but he can kind of do Trump things.
Then when other people try to do it and it's just like a chic, a cheap knockoff, you know what I mean?
It's just like this woman in her piercing, shrill voice going, you're a failed politician.
Like, what?
Like, what?
What?
Okay.
Thomas Massey has been elected.
What did he?
He came in in like 2011 or 2012.
He's been re-elected how many times?
He's got all the most powerful people, including the president of the United States, Maryam Adelson, all of these people pouring millions of dollars into his primary.
And he's about to go fucking win that thing in a couple months.
So like, what the hell does that even mean?
Like, Thomas Massey was elected, lady.
You were appointed to your fucking job.
So I don't even know.
But again, just what is that?
Like, that's the best she could come up with, Rob.
He's got her dead to rights pinned on violating the law and in like the most egregious way, like violating the law in service of protecting a co-conspirator to child sex trafficking.
And her response is, you're like, you're a failed politician.
God, geez.
Well, I mean, talk about if you're 100% guilty of engaging in a cover-up for the pedophile elites, then this is a flawless performance.
And I guess that's all you got left.
Yep.
And I think the takeaway here is that the only reason to behave in this way is because you engaged in a cover-up.
And so I think for anyone being honest and watching this from Pam Bondi and the fact that she can engage and have a conversation and has to try and burn the clock as much as she can and then just hurl insults back, to me, that is an indication of you are guilty.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, completely.
And look, I mean, there's just, we're so far past the point, but, you know, all of them are just so implicated.
I mean, this is, it's all so criminal, dude.
Like just her and Kash Patel and Dan Bongino all should literally, I mean, they should probably be in jail, honestly.
Like they should probably be in jail.
They should at the very least live their life in shame for the rest of their days.
But of course, Rob, you know, this is Trump's Justice Department.
This is Trump's administration.
And there's just, there's no way to claim in any sense that you stand for honesty, that you believe in speaking the truth.
There's no way.
I mean, if you remember, Rob, the right-wingers in this country lost their mind, and I would say rightfully so over the last decade over the issue of protecting kids.
You know, like this was the whole like rallying cry of the anti-trans activist movement.
It was like, no, dude, you keep your hands off of kids.
You don't go after like children.
And, you know, look, Donald Trump.
By the way, they're still playing the collard.
I mean, that's one of Tom Homan's talking points is when convenient.
So yeah, yeah, when it's when it's poor Mexicans, then sure, we'll protect children.
We're all for that.
But when it's rich, powerful people, now we don't get, we don't actually care that much.
But I'll just say this, right?
Because this is like, I think what the correct opinion, this, in my view, the correct view of things.
And this is, this is the non-Trump derangement syndrome view.
Because by the way, Trump derangement syndrome, if you want to be technical about it here, that can go both ways.
There are people who are deranged on Trump and just think he's fucking the greatest thing ever.
But here's the sober analysis of it.
Donald Trump in his first term was impeached over complete bullshit.
Well, first of all, the Russia Gate thing was all complete bullshit.
The Ukraine gate thing was complete bullshit.
And the January 6th impeachment was complete bullshit.
If Donald Trump were impeached right now for his cover-up of the Epstein scandal, he'd 100% deserve it and he should be removed.
He's guilty as all fucking hell.
The fact that this is fucking his attorney general.
Here, let's finish.
Is there a little bit more of the Massey Bondi thing?
And then I'm going to read Donald Trump's response to back that up.
Epstein Scandal Impeachment 00:05:53
Has expired.
She didn't answer the question.
Mr. Chairman, could she answer the question?
Chairman, I was wondering.
The gentlelady's allowed, the attorney general is allowed to respond to which she wants to respond to any members' questions, Republican, Democrat.
I have unanimous consent request.
Gentleman's recognized for a UC.
All right.
This is an example.
I'm submitting these 302 forms that are entirely redacted, even when you go to look at them.
Without objection.
I'm submitting a witness statement that implicates Les Wexner.
Not objection.
I'm submitting an article from the New York Times.
The DOJ released nude photos and identifiable pictures of the victims.
I'm submitting a letter from A.G. Bondi to Kash Patel imploring him to quit keeping the files when you found out that they were keeping files from you because they're still redacting files that you.
Chairman, are we going to recess for votes?
Yes, we are.
I'm submitting for unanimous consent a document of 17 individuals who've resigned because of the Epstein files.
Without objection.
All right.
So, yeah.
Okay.
So anyway, to my point that Donald Trump really just deserves the worst fate in the universe for this, this is what Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social regarding.
Did you see this, Rob?
I think so, but we'll find out.
I mean, you could imagine, right?
But here's Donald Trump.
A.G. Pambondi, under intense fire from the Trump-deranged radical left lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday's hearing on the never-ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated on the ridiculous Russia-Russia-Russia type charges.
Actually, it is the slime ball Democrats, many of them big donors and politicians, that have been proven guilty.
By the way, if they've been proven guilty, then why were you burying the files?
Why did it take a veto-proof majority in order to be bullied into releasing them?
And if they're guilty, why is your Justice Department saying there's no co-conspirators and there's no anybody and there's nothing in the files and there's no one to charge?
Anyway, this is uh Donald Trump.
Republican loser, sanctimonious Rhino Congressman Thomas Massey, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of hate and stupidity, as most clearly stated by his crashing job approval numbers.
So, this is Donald Trump.
Guilty.
Thomas Massey embarrassed himself there.
What do you say, Rob?
I say, as much as I just said that Pam Bondi's behavior only makes sense if you're guilty of a cover-up, Donald Trump stepping in and fully endorsing Pam Bondi's hearing show yesterday.
Guilty.
If you watch that and you stand by your Justice Department and their efforts and the way that she behaved and think that this is the way a government should operate, this is a job well done.
Those were questions answered.
And we don't need to dig into any of the criticisms that were suggested about the way the Justice Department has handled this, then you're involved in this coverup.
Yep.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
And I mean, come on.
Listen, dude, just come on.
Is it a certain point?
Like, people, people got it, like, because I know, like, and don't get me wrong, there's a whole bunch of people who are very happy that I've been calling out the administration the way I am.
But I know there's some Trump supporters who have been upset that I'm so harsh on him.
But let's just be honest with ourselves here, guys.
He leaves me no choice.
It's not even close.
It's not even like, you know, should maybe I could view this in a different way, dude.
You're telling me that you could look at that exchange between Thomas Massey and Pam Bondi, where he nails her dead to rights with irrefutable evidence.
And she goes, You have Trump derangement syndrome.
You're a loser.
You're a failed politician.
And you'd look at that and go, Massey embarrassed himself, you think?
That's your response?
Okay.
Let's not forget what we're talking about here, guys.
We're talking about Jeffrey Epstein.
All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Cove Pure.

Client Privilege Defense 00:15:12
I feel like anyone who watched this, except for the absolutely brainwashed Trump forever people, I think this is going to take down his administration.
I just don't believe that anyone watched this and going, you know what?
Nothing to see here.
Let's move on.
I think anyone with just a brain, ears, and eyeballs who watch this is like, wait, wait, why is this lady pivoting on every single question?
And these sound like reasonable questions.
Why is she refusing to answer them and yelling like a lunatic?
And then Trump comes in to support her and go, Hey, job well done.
The people asking those questions should be embarrassed.
I don't know how anyone can be aligned with this administration with these just two little things.
If you knew nothing else about this and you just watched the way that she responded to those questions and then Trump goes, Hey, those people are awful for asking these questions and you're agreeing with Trump.
I mean, you're just, you're brainwashed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then, by the way, the other one, 100%, I agree with you.
And then the other one, which I guess we haven't mentioned here because she threw it, it's all so stupid.
I mean, this is, and it is like, I don't know how else to say this.
This just feels like, it feels so dumb.
I can't believe I even have to like respond or debunk or whatever, because like everyone should be able to look at this.
But then when she goes like to Thomas Massey, of all people, did you ever say that to Merrick Garland?
And they're like, that's what they've got to fall back on.
You know, I had one interaction on Twitter yesterday.
I just, I just tweeted something about how Pam Bonnie is, you know, a complete disgrace and a moron.
And Sean Ryan replied to me and he was like, I know, dude.
You know, I forget exactly what he said, but it was like just something like, I know, she's fucking useless or something like that.
And Sean Ryan, by the way, has been really great on this whole thing.
I don't know if you know him, Rob, but he's got a big, very, very popular show.
And he's like a combat vet and has a lot of cool interviews and stuff like that.
But he's really, really on this like protecting kids thing.
I don't know.
He's got some hang up about not covering up for people who victimize children.
I don't know why he's such a stickler on that issue, but he's really not too happy about it.
Cause there are some people like that, believe it or not.
And he's one of those guys.
Like, and you could tell, like, it, I mean, I don't, I don't mean to like speak for him.
So maybe I shouldn't do that.
But I just, the way I feel about it is, is like, you know, when you got these like legit, like real badass motherfucker, like combat vets, like not guys like me and you who are comedians, guys who like, you know, signed up to fight in wars.
He's got the attitude of like, you know, those are the people I agreed to kill.
You know, like, what are we talking about here?
Like, this is like, I'm, anyway, I added that, not, not out of his mouth.
But anyway, so he just said the thing.
And then there was this other guy and he posts to me and Sean Ryan like a screenshot of me saying Pamboni sucks and him going, I know.
And then he goes, hey, you know, trivia question for you geniuses, like starts off real condescending.
He goes, trivia question for you geniuses.
He goes, which Justice Department released no files and which Justice Department released over 3 million.
And so like, this is, and I think I responded something like, this is too stupid for me to engage with.
But like, again, the point, imagine he's coming at me and Sean Ryan, like as if, what, we're Biden guys or something like that now?
He goes, yeah.
And guess who was furious about that during the Biden administration?
Us and also you.
And also you, Trump supporter.
You were mad about it too.
But then see, this administration ran on releasing the files and still to this day brags about being the most transparent administration ever, right?
But look at this hearing.
She's just dodging every question, every reasonable question with, you know, you voted the wrong way on some other AI porn bill.
It's almost like if every politician, there was a, there was a room and it was just closed.
And then this one opened up the door and said, hey, we got, we let you see into the room.
And the room were a bunch of demons raiding kids and said, we closed the door, but we opened the door.
We let you see what was in the room.
And everyone's like, well, I guess that wasn't enough.
We actually wanted it to be stopped.
And so just giving us a peek into the door to verify the horrible things that we thought might be going on or going on.
And then you went, hey, we're the best because we let you peek in the room.
Well, no, we want you to stop what's going on in the room.
If anything, you've just gotten us more outraged about it.
Yeah.
And then add the fact that they didn't even let us peek in the room.
Thomas Massey forced them to let us peek in the room.
They were trying to not even let us peek in the room.
They were trying to not even release any of these files.
And like, we've gotten real information out of this, these things so far.
And they were trying to not release any of it.
And also the other point, which I didn't even respond to this guy because it's all too stupid, but he goes, hey, which Justice Department released zero files?
He goes, oh, well, Trump's.
Trump's first one, right?
Donald Trump was president when they brought the case against Jeffrey Epstein, when Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.
You know, that was the Trump administration.
And so as Thomas Massey says in his response, he goes, oh, yeah, yeah.
No, no, a pox on both your houses.
Like, yeah, oh, no, I blame all of you.
But this part's your fault.
Like, it is just, it is, as you said, Rob, it's just you, it's, you know, it's like when I make fun of the behind closed doors sharpest attack thing.
And it's like, you kind of can't believe on one level, you're like, I can't believe that's really what you said about Joe Biden.
Like the best you could come up with is that when the rest of us aren't watching, he's great.
But as soon as we watch, he shits his pants.
But then I guess to your point, Rob, it's like, well, yeah, that is the best they can come up with because he is senile.
So what the fuck else are you going to say?
You know?
And so in this case, it's like, yeah, they are covering up this fucking scandal.
So what else can they say?
This is all they have.
It's the, it's the, it's basically an admission of guilt.
Here, let's go.
What was the, the next foot?
I would play Dan Goldman next.
And one of the things that was most infuriating about this hearing was this one is yeah, it's it's at the top of the it's the first link in the emails, but there are, I've watched quite a bit of congressional hearings over the years, and there's certain characters that arise that you root for and some that you despise.
And typically speaking, I despise Raskin.
I despise Nadler.
There's a lot of them that I couldn't think were more covering for democratic agendas and institutions that were really you're talking the Russia gate stuff, COVID being valid, some of the worst are the worst.
And these are terrible individuals and watching a congressional hearing where you're siding with Nadler.
I mean, the amount of times I've played clips of Nadler, probably more on my own podcast than this one, but the amount of times I've made fun of him for just being the worst Democrat.
And then this one, him having to win.
Same with Dan Goldman, who I thought, other than Massey, particularly the end of his segment where he allowed victims to give some insight into how much the Justice Department is actually engaged with them.
I think that this was one of the biggest bombshells.
Yeah, well, I will say just before we go to that, because I think there's like, there's one version of like where people will, and again, this is the lowest IQ fucking shit ever, but where they'll go, like, oh, see, you guys are saying you agree with the Democrats now or something.
But it's like, no, dude, that's how much Trump is fucking up that he's letting Nadler be right.
And me and Rob, we're not dummies.
We know what's going on here.
We know these guys are just cynically using this story because they think it can damage Trump.
And we know that if it was Biden, they'd be happy to cover it up.
But that's not really the point.
You know, like I told you this, Rob.
And this is very true.
And I've had, it was when I came out against Trump last summer for the 12-day war, and I called for his impeachment then and said I regretted voting for him.
Then, and then when I had the Dan Bongino dust up, excuse me, I do.
I apologize, guys, for being a little bit gross on this episode, but I am under the weather.
But I still just, we had to get this episode out because I had to talk to you guys about this stuff.
But so both those times, I got all types of requests for corporate media interviews.
You know, it was like the Washington Post wants to sit down with me and Vanity Fair wants to sit down with me.
And all these people want to fuck a politico and like all these guys want to like interview me about this thing.
And I didn't do any of them.
I just did none of them.
I think I did one.
I sat down with one guy because Tucker Carlson like recommended him and was like, he's a good dude.
You could talk to him.
But because, Rob, I know what they're doing.
I understand the game here.
And they're trying to run an article going, even Dave Smith, who supported Donald Trump, has to admit that he's a problem, you know?
And like, I just don't want to do that with them because, like, no, I hate you guys every bit as much as I hate them.
I know who you guys are.
And also, I don't need you.
I have my own platform.
I don't need you.
That being said, I'm still in a position where I got to call him out because he's full of shit.
Anyway, let's play.
Let's play this clip.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Ms. Bondi, I went over to the department yesterday for a couple of hours to review some of the unredacted materials.
And I am looking forward to your detailed explanation for why you have withheld almost half of the documents, which is required by the bill.
Now, obviously, there are 3 million documents, so I didn't get through much.
But one thing I didn't see was the client list that you said you had on your desk a year ago.
I did, however, find a couple of important documents: an 86-page prosecution memo from the Southern District of New York and a draft indictment from Florida against Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.
For reasons that I cannot understand, nor are permitted by the bill, they were still redacted, even for members of Congress.
So, Miss Bondi, will you commit right here to immediately providing those two documents in unredacted form to members of Congress?
Not a complicated question.
Well, I guess it is for you because you have a law degree and those are privileged.
Okay, they're not privileged, but we will discuss that later.
Which I just found an email that I have right now because she's going to say that again.
And I don't even, it seems like a non-sequitur because from what I understand, there was a law that they had to release all information unless they wanted to claim it was part of an ongoing investigation.
I guess there's also a carve out for if it would undermine intelligence or there's some sort of a line there, and then, or if it's to protect victims, but privilege information would mean it's between a lawyer and his and I guess the person that he's representing.
Yeah, that would that would be privilege information as to why these would be privilege.
It seems like uh, I guess maybe that was their carve out for just not releasing information, but yeah, not really explaining it even.
Also, like, does I don't know, I'm not a lawyer is a better question for a lawyer, but like, does attorney client privilege exist when the guy is dead?
He can't be you know what I'm saying?
Like, even if there was an email between Alan Dershowitz and Epstein or something like that, he can't be incriminated, right?
So, like, isn't that the point of attorney-client privilege?
Anyway, that might be I might be getting that wrong, but she's full of shit here, pretty sure.
Let's keep let's keep playing here from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghelane Maxwell that was unredacted, and it included notes of statements that Donald Trump made about his prior relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, there is no reason for this to be hidden from the American people.
There is no privilege, there is no attorney-client privilege, and I see you're checking with your staff.
And I can assure you, staff, this is not under attorney-client privilege because it was sent from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghylaine Maxwell.
Will you commit?
Just pause it right there.
Okay, I'm not a lawyer, but I know that's right.
I know that two convicted sex traffickers communicating to each other about their relationships with people is not covered under attorney-client privilege.
Sorry, that's not protected.
You know, let's keep playing.
Maxwell, will you commit to publicly providing the unredacted version of this so that the American people can understand the extent of Donald Trump's lies about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?
You're about as good of a lawyer today as you were when you tried to impeach President Trump in 2016.
Have you apologized for that in 2019?
So, will you apologize?
Will you unredact this?
Will you unpack this?
I'm asking you, will you unredact this?
Privileged.
Privileged, of course.
So, just to just pause it for a second, because I did, I watched this moment and I did think this was a very interesting, important one because I just, just for everyone to understand here, right?
Because these are the games they try to play.
And this is how that whole fucking uniparty system works: is that you have one party, you have one political party in Washington, D.C.
We don't have a two-party system.
A two-party system would be a huge improvement.
You have one party, one party when it comes to what?
When Netanyahu just spoke to Congress, Rob, which party was giving him a standing ovation?
Both?
Yeah, that's right.
The one party, the war party.
When it comes to war, when it comes to monetary policy, when it comes to debt, when it comes to the militarization of the police, when it comes to the mass surveillance state, when it comes to like the 25 things that matter the fucking most, there's one party, okay?
But they convince you there's two and that the other one is only the problem.
And so you get left there in this position where you go, oh, she can say, well, you impeach Trump over bullshit.
And then people go, oh, yeah, he kind of should apologize for that, right?
And like, he should apologize for that because they did impeach Trump over bullshit.
But she uses it a deflection from what did she just say?
Improper Redactions Exposed 00:06:16
And because you didn't, because you impeached Donald Trump, we're not going to let you know what Jeffrey Epstein and Ghelane and Ghislaine Maxwell said to each other.
we're not gonna even though we've been mandated by law to do it you don't get to know what these two child sex traffickers were saying to each other you don't get to know that that's the official line from the trump administration although if you want if you want to defend that trump supporters and damn your eternal cell to your eternal soul to hell go ahead and support that but that's what she just told you The uh the pivot to,
well, that's uh um and you should be ashamed for impeaching Donald Trump.
I mean, it's more of the just absolute just raving lunatic of that has nothing to do with what we're talking about right here.
Uh, and that couldn't be more transparent.
Uh, her argument of that's privileged is somewhat interesting because I guess she will be proven wrong on that, but that will be the reason why the redactions weren't illegal was because they're arguing that it was privileged, which means that this is a little bit of a punt where I guess it might take another year before you get this out and you have to actually go to court with the Justice Department about whether or not these redactions were privileged information.
And they'll lose that case, but I guess at least that allows them to have not have illegally redacted it because they've got some bullshit that they can at least pretend they thought was true.
Yeah, well, it's like you always say, with the which a very good point that you've made many times over the years, where there's a real flaw in the system where like the president can do something unconstitutional and aka illegal, and then it's in effect for six months, and then the Supreme Court sees it, and then they look at it and they go, no, this is totally unconstitutional.
And then they go, okay, so we'll get rid of that policy.
It's like, well, so your answer is you just got to break the law for six months because that doesn't seem right.
It's actually worse than that.
And we're coming to the end of the episode.
I'll be quick.
But on the tariff case, Trump's actually arguing that they can undo it, even if it was illegal, because it would be too massively detrimental.
So it goes the other way where it's like, now they can break the law and it's like too big to fail, where if the policy that they implemented was so big that it would be destructive to unwind, they might allow an illegal policy to continue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here, let's play just a few more seconds of this and then we'll wrap up.
I think you got to get to the end on this one.
Maybe, maybe play them in and then go to the end because that's the bombshell.
Now, these are obviously improper redactions.
And let me stop this.
I'm talking.
If they're not privileged, quiet.
Don't yell at me.
If they're not privileged.
If they're not used your improper redactions.
You'll like my answer.
Time belongs to the member.
I'm happy to release them.
We'll stop the clock.
We'll stop the clock.
Time belongs to the member.
Go ahead.
Even though you used improper redactions to protect Donald Trump and other predators associated with Jeffrey Epstein, you did the exact opposite thing with the survivors and victims of this scheme.
So their identification information was really the only thing required to be redacted, and it was not.
Let's jump ahead to the last 30 seconds.
I would go, I would say it's probably about the last minute where he says where he asked the victims to stand up.
Last week, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that any victim that wants to speak with the department has done so, hopefully.
Well, thanks to the incredibly brave people sitting here behind you, we can actually ask them if that's true.
Now, with the survivors and victims who are here, please stand up one more time.
Just by show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the Department of Justice and provided testimony and estimate and evidence?
None.
And of those of you who have not met, which is everyone, how many of you have reached out either individually or through a lawyer or representative to offer to provide testimony and evidence?
All of them.
And of those of you, all of you who have reached out, how many of you were denied or ignored by the Department of Justice?
All of them.
And despite the shameful and despicable efforts by Miss Bondi and her department to intimidate you, how many of you are still willing to speak to the Department of Justice?
All of them.
Well, Miss Bondi, it looks like you have some more witnesses and I yield back.
We will go to the Good Jobs of North Carolina.
Here, pause it there.
Yeah, that's pretty devastating.
By the way, the angle I saw of the, I saw a different video angle where you can see all the women and see all them raising their hands.
But I'll just conclude by saying Pam Bondi is cooked.
And you guys, just, there's no defending this, man.
This administration is a complete fucking total failure.
Just disgraceful.
Last thought to you, Rob, and then we'll wrap it up.
We've said more than once that the releasing of the files is just one aspect of this.
And then there's just that they have no interest in investigating.
And that moment right there just reeks of cover-up of making claims that we've spoken to victims.
And then at least that batch of victims is willing to speak.
All claiming they tried.
All claiming they tried to.
They're still willing to, and none of them have.
That's devastating.
And that's just one lead source in terms of what actually transpired.
Tell me that they're interested in investigating and actually looking into this after that moment.
Dude, Thomas Massey and Rocahana had two hours in there.
You know what I mean?
There's so much more that's been redacted and so many more files that they haven't released.
Yeah, dude, this thing stinks.
A clear cover-up.
All right.
That's it.
Catch you guys next time.
