BRIT HUME (CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST): On top of that, of course, it's got to be acknowledged here that some of these officials in the administration, who are now at the center of this, did a lot to bring this on. Because before they were in office, Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino and, to a lesser extent, Kash Patel were trumpeting this whole Epstein case as something that seemed to have involved a cover-up. And now that they're in office and had a chance to look at the documents, they now have found that to their satisfaction that there's nothing there, that Epstein did indeed kill himself, that there was no client list, and the rest of it that they're talking about.
I personally believe that if Dan Bongino, who is, you know, he's an aggressive guy and he talked about this a lot. And if he, now as deputy director of the FBI says there's nothing there, I think it's reasonable to conclude there's nothing there.
