Have you released all of the stuff that the FBI has seized from Epstein's house? The computers, the emails, the file cabinets, the documents? What about the financial records? Have you released all of that? Everything the court has allowed us to release. Which court are you talking about? Three separate federal courts have come in and said... We're talking about the evidence you've got. It's got nothing to do with what those courts have. Do you have any idea how the law works? Wait a minute. Do you want me to break the law in a federal judge's order to satisfy your curiosity? No, I want you to follow your own word, Director Patel. You said up there it was under the direct control of the FBI director. He had the black book. Have you released? And everything I have direct control over, we have gone to court. You haven't. Complete your sentence.
