And I will just say, though, the brand damage that some people are suffering as a result of this is... We say brand, reputational damage that people are suffering from this is substantial.
There were a lot of people who minimized
their contact with Epstein and now because really non-criminal email activity coming out has shown and so this made you sort of wonder why was there the hesitation to release a lot of this stuff well the FBI in the course of an investigation will get a lot of information
And if it has nothing to do with criminality, it generally does not just release everything that they find, right?
And that's, I think, overall a good thing.
There's clear reason for this.
You shouldn't be... You know, if you're...
If you're writing things that would just be kind of, again, non-criminal, but if you're writing things that are embarrassing, that have nothing to do with a criminal enterprise, why should that all be made public under normal circumstances?
In this case, the public demanded, and for very good reason, a much broader transparency than you would get in a standard FBI investigation because of the reasons that we could spend hours and hours talking about when it comes to Epstein.
So, yeah, I think that...
There are people that are more damaged reputationally than I anticipated, meaning new names.
It's one thing if somebody's already in there.
The reality here, I think, is there will be people that never believe that there's been enough transparency or rather that we've gotten the real answers.
And I can understand that.
I can understand that mindset.
And I think that
What now at this point, the FBI or the DOJ are going to say, we've released what we have.
That's it.
So I don't know what else you or I could do in terms of advocating for more transparency or anything else.
And I will say, this wasn't smoking gun.
