And it's interesting as well. Because tHEY'RE also, some of them, directed to take part in beautification efforts. I mean, what should residents of DC, how should they view this, especially considering the president might expand this effort to send the National Guard into big cities? Well, look, I live here in DC. If anybody wants to come in and help make the place more beautiful, I'm all up for it, whether it's National Guard or a gardener. So I don't think the citizens are going to complain about people trying to clean up parts of the city. I think the real concern is over whether this is a real surge to combat crime or whether this is a political surge to either deflect or take attention off of something else.

I want to get your view on things happening at the DOJ. Because it released audio and transcripts from an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. It's really hard to find anything new in those pages. But from your perspective, what is the significance, especially when you note that there are contradictory statements even in those tapes and transcripts? Well, pertaining to a criminal case involving the Epstein files or the crimes committed in that area, I don't think there is significance. I'm not even aware of the investigation continuing. I didn't work on that investigation when I was at DOJ. But it seems that most of what I've seen and read that the defendant or the convicted felon who's in prison has directly contradicted what I read in the court documents. After I listened to it, I went back and read the court documents. And there just isn't a marrying up of what she's saying and the facts of the case established.
