You cannot be on the team and do the work credibly. But I think that's the kind of concern you and I have talked about.
No, both in general and in particular with Maria Bartiromo. I'd be on the bulwark, obviously. Look, these guys, in an odd way, I kind of feel sorry for them because they spent years barking nonsense about the FBI and its work to their followers. And then the dogs not only caught the car, they have to drive the car.

And nothing in their lives have prepared them for that, but they're also now driving in a reality-based universe where facts matter and statements have to be under oath and there's accountability in the courts. And so the nonsense has to go away, but their followers who grew up on this They don't see it the same way. And so I got to imagine they're under tremendous pressure.

And look, you can take joy in that. I actually think it'd be better if they didn't have that kind of distraction and they were a different kind of person and could run the FBI without worrying about the followers they had lied to.

Yeah, that's right. And they spent years saying the FBI was a corrupt, deep state cabal of leftists. And I guess they changed that on day one because on day one, it became the greatest investigative agency in the world.
