The FBI destroyed or altered all of the incriminating files years ago. If anything is left its probably a paper hardcopy kept in Hillary's bathroom or something. Bondi and Patel were never going to find anything.
Here's the thing. I could have potentially believed (but still been skeptical of) that excuse if they immediately went with that from the outset. Instead we got "the list is on my desk" and "there are 10s of thousands of hours of video of children being abused." They've long missed their chance to credibly claim that all the evidence had been destroyed before they got in.
Hell, Kash and Bongino are both trying to assert he killed himself. That is not a "they destroyed the evidence before we could see it" issue. That is a "they are deeply compromised" issue. Or being blackmailed. Functionally the same.
Agree that all 3 of them have thoroughly destroyed their credibility. It was almost as if, by saying they had all the evidence, they were hoping someone magically dropped it on their desk.
While its possible they are compromised, the deep state put up a hell of a fight to keep them out. I think they are just incompetent, fixated bulldogs who walked into a viper's den of snakes far more intelligent then they are.
This is by far the worst black mark on the Trump administration.
Did the deep state really put up much of a fight to keep them out? Hegseth is really the only one I would say a big fight was put up over. Multiple instances where they tried to sink him with contrived scandals, both before and after his confirmation.
The deep state desperately did not want Gaetz and they got their wish there. Bondi I don't recall any significant opposition aside from democrat partisan stuff.
