What he said is guaranteed to make many in Washington furious. And there's no taking it back now.

On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson delivered two theories on why Pam Bondi won't release the Epstein Files.

Theory #1 was "Trump is involved."

But Carlson thought this explanation was not very likely.

Then came Theory #2, which was that Carlson believed "intel services are at the very center of this story—US and Israeli—and they're being protected."

"I think that seems like the most plausible explanation," Carlson said.

"And we have every right to ask on whose behalf was he working? How does a guy go from being a math teacher at the Dalton School in the late 70s with no college degree to having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan? Where did all the money come from?" Carlson asked.

Then came the big claim.

"And no one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried. And moreover, it's extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government. Now, no one's allowed to say that that foreign government is ISRAEL because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that's naughty," Carlson said.

"There is nothing wrong with saying that," Carlson continued. "There is nothing hateful about saying that. There's nothing anti-Semitic about saying. There's nothing even anti-Israel about saying that."
