Brett Meiselas

I've always been an admirer of his.

So as we expand our coverage, I want to be able to bring more economic data from the top economists in our country right now.

I'll bring this up and then Brett, you'll talk about Bovino, but very quickly, you had Bill Barr, former Attorney General, pen this op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, why Pam Bondi didn't publish all Epstein files in 30 days.

The answer is simple, it was not possible.

Then he goes on to say, House Democrats, added by a handful of misguided Republicans, forced the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November.

The statute directed Pam Bondi to release the files within 30 days.

Then he goes on to say it was more than 5 million pages of material.

In linear feed, it's more than three times the height of the Washington Monument.

So how could they possibly get this done?

Well, let's be very clear.

Pam Bondi claimed that she was going to turn these files over back in February.

She had basically a full year to turn these over.

That's the issue.

It wasn't that they had 30 days.

The 30 days was after they said they were going to turn it over and refused to turn it over.

They had 1,000 lawyers working on this, 1,000.

When I was doing document productions like this, when I was a lawyer and I would have five associates with me,

we would, it would take us about 60 days to go through three to five terabytes, which is more documents than this.

We'd have it logged and sorted.

So if you have a thousand lawyers who are just doing this, and why is only 1% of the files been produced?
