They're great guys. I think they mean well. But if you put me in charge of the FBI, I wouldn't know what to do. I mean, how do you trust a bureaucracy like that? By the way, that is totally illegal. You can't take a gun pointed against your forehead and say, give me your reporter's notebooks.

And I actually genuinely mean this. I've met Cash. I think he's a genuinely good man. I just don't – I think the system is institutionally corrupt.
