Doesnt need directions. they can public by their own way with a roadmap. but the information and the evidence is incredibly helpful, especially when you break it down into those elements and those building blocks but the justice department, and -- you know, say here you go! it may be that this department is able to do more than the committee did, but its all in the case that the justice department has a bigger burden because they were a few things absence from the committee had to do. number one...

Is also the case that the justice department has a bigger burden because there were a few things absent from what the committee had to do. you know, number one, there was no defense attorney there to cross-examine any of these witnesses so they need to do that work themselves and put them in the grand jury and play devils advocate and push and product and make sure they understand how they know these things and comply with the rules of evidence. here we heard a lot of hearsay which is fine and a...

Of storytelling. >> so, barbara, they clearly -- this committee staff has just done a brilliant job, no one can count me among the people who are complaining that they were delivering it a day or two later than they said they were going to deliver it. no congressional committee in history has ever had a burden like this. it is astonishing to me that they got this done in the speed that they did. theyve clearly served the reader out there who is uninitiated in the ways of washington. they have de...

Summaries of to the committee and the committee could then see noerm selves that indeed what she had to say was explosive. it still was not thoroughly agreed upon at that moment in time that hutchinson should bear the burden of telling all this explosive stuff without corroboration, but the die was pretty much cast so the rest is history. >> robert, one more question for you. we talk about liz cheney and her outsized role in all of this. you note that she maintained a captain ahab-like focus on ...

Testimony, whether he attacked the driver and that was not corroborated. >> but we should note that the report should say that she doubled down on in sworn testimony and said that tony ornato referenced that story two more times afterwards. >> she did. >> yeah. >> but those are inconsistencies that could cause problems down the road in a criminal process because the burden is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. and it may not be the same in one setting as another. those are things that could raise ...

Burden of proof it has, remains to be seen. >> charles, theres so much here, as chuck was talking about. hes still going through the report. i am shocked, though, that so many people went in on this. and in one appendix, you know, the political fundraising, everyone who was working on trumps fundraising knew the elections had been called for biden. there are admissions that they knew that the election was not rigged, yet they still proceeded to raise $250 million. how is that not fraud? >> it is...

Biological father, i dont remember -- i remember saying to him, you have no idea what theyre going to do to me. did you feel that way when you were making your decision to speak to the committee and to speak up publicly? >> yeah, and it broke my heart to read her transcript and know she faced a similar struggle that i did with choosing to come forward, signing up to be a witness especially in such a public setting, you know that youre going to face harassment, potential security threats, financi...
