So let me walk you through something that I haven't talked about yet.

When we go hit this individual's house and his place of work, it's not like we're going to hit the house of a criminal suspect for fraud.

or we're going to hit the house of, say, John Bolton.

It's very different.

We know this individual is making bombs.

So we have to send in an entire bomb tech squad team to safeguard the house.

That takes hours and hours.

And then and then only, once it's cleared safe, do we send in our evidence response teams to go in there.

They're there.

They're still there.

They're still going through it because that's how long it takes because we can't put FBI agents in harm's way just to collect evidence.

So that's why this search is taking so long and will continue, in my opinion, probably throughout the weekend and into the coming weeks.

And we're going to start talking to his family members and associates and putting those people probably, in my opinion, in grand juries.

But that is a decision up to the Department of Justice.

And we'll work with them to make sure we get every single witness they need in the box.

Um, I can't really characterize that because that's going to be presented ultimately in court.

We've, we have it documented and it's a piece of the evidentiary chain and we want that to be presented without, um, tarnishing our judicial records.

So we're working closely with Jeanine Pirro and the attorney general to make sure that information is tightly held till we submit it publicly.

We've got the right guy based on the totality of information and other information we haven't publicly released yet that we just can't right now.

I know the public wants to know everything right away, but I want to remind the American public how this FBI operates.
