Going to be how -- what leverage does congress try to use? how much are they going to pressure bannon and others to actually come forward and testify? or is this more of a pr battle, where theyre trying to just kind of publicly shame the trump administration for their role in what happened on january 6th. so this is going to be something that develops and continues as they kind of do the work, right? weve all seen a lot of the videos, but now its actually kind of trying to figure out who knew wh...
