Page 483 - Contempt News Today

How big of a deal do you think this is? >> i think we now understand better that clip of jim jordan being asked about his conversations with donald trump on january 6th, he stammers, dodges, bobs, and weaves. a ten-minute phone call with the president of the united states is something you would remember. on an infamous date. so the committee, theres one of two ways, they can walk away. say its not worth the fight, hes never going to testify, thats a weak approach. they can subpoena him, and hold...

Dont want to be seen as fully embracing it. but theyre not bucking subpoenas, and we know former president trump has tried to bring down the hammer on former associates. and hoping they dont cooperate. we dont know what are in the documents, but i feel like the testimony that the committee elicited from the pence team is going to be important. >> elie, how significant is it that jeffrey clark actually appeared today after being threatened with contempt? >> wolf, jerffrey clark sort of slid under...

And at least try to enforce the law here? >> he seems quite uninclined to testify, calling them domestic terrorists i think is a bit of a tipoff there. but as andrew said, the committee is going to have to decide whether they want to play hardball with the folks defying them. there is not a growing list of people who have received subpoenas, who have made clear they have no intention to testify. will the committee hold them in contempt? the committee did it for steve bannon and mark meadows, and...

Ail the us. brian: they never recognize natural immunity. >> they believe working class americans should listen to everything they say even though they have so much contempt for them. brian: news week is lucky to have you. coming up. get ready to cue the music, start the clock. the fighters are in their corner. carley shimkus, report for duty. here she is, she is ready to take me on.

But suggesting we need for censorship is a problem. brian: a study said 67% of liberal democrats believe any information that goes counter to the government should be taken down. >> we have a cultural divide. you have a media date catering to the pajama set. and they believe in this covid zero stuff. they believe people who disagree with them should be censored, even by government. you have joe rogan and outlets like fox news catering to working class americans who spent the most dangerous days ...

Plot. use the justice department to pressure individual states that they should flip or at least sort of rescind the certification of theyre election results in states that biden won. donald trump wanted to install jeff clark as the attorney general, as the head of the justice department, so he could carry out that scheme, that never came to pass. jeff clark is as important a person for the january 6th investigation to talk to as anyone, as they try to get to the bottom of trumps efforts to over...

Im not saying they are failing, doj is nothing moving here. if he went in and pleaded the fifth today, is that pretty much it? >> they have a couple of options here. i think him showing up helps with regard to the criminal contempt aspect. what he might have done in there because two hours is way too short for him to have given a substantive interview but a little longer than saying im not talking because of the fifth. they might have gone area by area for him to assert it there. they could seek...

Subpoena the fbi i didnt get a fraction of it. i asked gina haspel. chuck grassley and i wrote a letter. we listed a full page of documents that we needed. she wouldnt even return our phone calls. we got nothing out of the cia director. she wouldnt return the phone call of the president pro tem of the senate. thats the contempt that these co-spirits held congress and the american people in. >> jesse: there has to be some accountability here. this suspect worse than anything i have ever seen in m...
