JOHN SOLOMON (GUEST): The DOJ, as I keep saying on your show, is grossly trailing behind the FBI. It is not resourced for the mission that Donald Trump gave them. The budget cuts they agreed to — they didn't reprioritize weaponization in a way that got them the staff. There are tens of thousands of pages of documents sitting, waiting to be produced to Congress.

And yesterday, to give you a sense of where our attorney general is, she did an Epstein documents 2.0 on all of us. She did it. She put out this tweet, got a lot of traffic, great Fox News story. Oh my god, guess what I discovered? I discovered that Joe Biden gave up Donald Trump's phone and Mike Pence's phone to Jack Smith. That's great, madam attorney general, except that story came out in April. She wasn't even aware that that wasn't a new development, but an old development that had been discussed by Senators Grassley and Johnson for months. If you want to fix the perp walk problem, if you want to fix the — opportunity to bring accountability, Kash Patel has the evidence. The prosecutors, with the exception of Halligan, are lagging far behind the evidence, and that sand clock is ticking down not only on statute of limitations, but on the time that occurs in between elections.

...

I don't think DOJ is getting there. When you see that there was a six-month delay in this document. When you see the Attorney General present something new that is old — she's so far behind the facts. I'm really worried that Donald Trump doesn't have the team that can bring accountability at the Justice Department.

That's just my reporting. And by the way, that's what many Justice department and members of Congress have been saying to me privately over the last three weeks four weeks.
