Because they will do regardless of where their moral compass is pointing. thats what weve seen with so many around trump in his administration, but larger orbit as well like on fox news. i think its important you pointed out that chris wallace has left, i dont think you said because he went in the wrong direction, obviously a wrong disparagement clause, but look people now leaving that network. ask the question, who is still there. paul ryan is on the board at fox, maybe having a positive influe...

Justice department to do exactly what she is asking. answer this question, did donald trump, through action or inaction directly seek to impede congresss official proceedings? >> i dont know, but she seems to have a good sense of the type of things that will drive them, and drive trump crazy. and she leans into that as much as she can, and sort of has this moment this week where she effectively, was able to raise the question of criminality while at the same time disclosing new details that real...

Very -- a real possibility that this leads to the fact that indictments might be merited for sitting members of congress and even for the former president of the united states. even in that indictment is merited, we see that in nations where a former head of state is indicted for criminal activity sometimes around the most legal election, what does it mean for the long-term trajectory of the american republic? once that can of worms is opened its hard to put it back together. the question is i t...

Cooperate on those matters. that alone is sufficient to advance the referral. but for the sake of argument, lets talk about mr. meadows privilege assertions. the select committee is not able to assess whether mr. meadows is making those assertions in good faith because he wont even come in and address them on a question by question basis as required. i have my view of whether he made these claims in good faith because ive seen him on television talking about his conversations with the president ...

0 defense. the court yesterday appointed a guardian to represent their son. they have seemingly abandoned him. have had no contact with him. have not seen him or spoken to him. obviously what lies ahead for their case, its going to be a difficult one for prosecutors after they charge them with four counts of involuntary manslaughter arguing that they gave him the gun as a gift, but also saying that they did nothing to prevent him from unleashing this shooting, this attack. prosecutors saying the...

Relief from the court to prevent him from having to turnover this information that the committee is looking for. the committee flatly rejected that court filing. they said that they plan to fight it to its full extent, and they described it as nothing more as an attempt by mark meadows to delay this process. congressman adam schiff responding by saying it certainly strikes me as another fruitless effort to i am imme -- imspeed the work of the committee. ryan nobles, capitol hill. >> other member...

Can yield if there is a more significant public interest, like joe biden has found with regard to the documents in the archives. attorney/client privilege is also out there. but the fifth amendment is strong, its a right that all of us have. i dont impute any guilt to anybody, but you have to have a well-founded fear of criminal prosecution and two, you have to assert it on a question by question basis, you cant just say therefore i dont have to show up. its not all over because theyve asserted ...

Enough for their own -- fearful enough that theyre invoking their fifth amendment rights? >> well, it could well be. its worth reading what the fifth amendment actually says. no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. well, it looks like mr. clark and now mr. eastman think that theres going to be or could well be a criminal prosecution based on their actions, so theyre in a position to know more than i am what they did, and i think its a very troubling and...

Weve got more than 25,000 documents in our possession. were working hard to pore through it. and there is no one person that has all the information here. so its a matter of putting all the pieces together as best we can. but we do believe that both clark and eastman have information that the committee needs. they have a right if they think theyre going to be prosecuted on a case by case, question by question basis to assert their fifth amendment right against testifying against themselves. the ...

For doubt about arizonas election results. wheniz pressed for details he acknowledged he was unfamiliar with the facts in arizona according to a person familiar with the discussion. i dont exactly know what the facts nare, but i do know that you guys in the state legislator need to send trump electors to the electoral college or at least send no electors, do not send biden electors even though you have certified that biden won the state. he wanted to talk with bowers and others about his various...
