There is not a single man or woman at the Department of Justice who had anything to do with those prosecutions. Over how many have been canned? Over 200. Over 200 either left before we came in because they knew it was coming, or were fired or took early retirement. They are no longer employed by this department. And when it comes to the FBI, which takes a lot of criticism, especially because of what happened over the past several years, Director Patel has cleaned house there, too. (03:45–03:52)
