You were paid $10 million to represent the president. You hang a 30 foot banner of the president's menacing face over the entrance to the Department of Justice. You said that if you were terminated or not moved forward as Attorney General, you would say to the president, I love you, sir. So I have one question for you. Is your obligation to the victims and survivors of Epstein's heinous crimes and all his perpetrators, or is your first obligation to the President of the United States? So without a doubt, we want to bring justice to every victim. When will you bring that justice? Can I please finish? Excuse me. Can I finish? It's in decades. When will you bring the justice? So as I was saying, when will you prosecute? And who will you prosecute?
