From that day. do we have an idea what these records will likely tell us? and whats the likelihood that this effort by the former president will succeed? >> i think if you look at it in the big picture here, youve seen stonewalling, not just from the president, but from just about everybody who is connected with his presidential campaign and who is allied with him in congress. youve seen the highly unusual step here of the commission going after, seeking information from members, sitting members...

Lie so what took the select committee, from your perspective, so long to try to get information from him knowing hes obviously not very likely to cooperate? wolf, chairman thompson has been very methodical and has been getting the witnesses. my hope is that representative jordan, who i serve with on the oversight committee, just comes forward and shares what he knows. i mean, he has worked with me and others on the oversight committee. ip think if he is transparent and shares some of the texts t...

Kaegss, trying to force him, contempt, criminal or civil contempt? >> as they said this is really uncharted waters for the select committee. it is rare to have a general investigation of a sitting congressman. and this goes to the erosion of various norms. typically where there has been a witness, in or outside of congress, there would be some negotiation, but here it seems clear there will not be negotiation, only stonewalling, and they go further than perhaps they ever have gone in trying to g...

Developments in the house select committees investigation of the day. newly released records records detailed conversations between the white house chief of staff and outside media personalities and lawmakers while the capital was under siege. and even as more damning evidence comes to light trump acolytes continue to defy subpoenas and invoke the fifth amendment. amid all the stonewalling even mitch mcconnell now says the investigation into how the u.s. capitol was invaded just might be worth w...

Back control of congress. and at that point, this investigation could feasibly be over. >> right. the committee i think has been careful not to set out an explicit timeline, especially since theyre confronting this kind of stonewalling from some of the witnesses that theyre trying to talk to. but at the same time, youre right, theres just sort of a practical deadline that by the end of this spring, if they havent brought this investigation to some kind of a conclusion and arent moving towards ma...

A stop the steal rally. how can you have somebody like that investigating january 6th? i think it was a tactical mistake of kevin mccarthy to boycott the committee entirely because now you have legitimate serious people like cheney and kinzinger joining with the democrats to actually get to the bottom of it and even though were seeing a whole lot of stonewalling in terms of the testimony they are getting a hold of the documents, as we see from these -- the meadows text messages. so it appears th...

All means necessary. >> we have been reporting today that roger stone pleaded the nist day when we went before the select committee. how much is trump influencing all the stonewalling that is going on? we know a lot of people including trump allies are cooperating, but clearly roger stone is not. >> ill tell you what, wolf. we have seen some very high-profile stonewallers. steve bannon, of course. mark meadow, of course. jeffrey clark. roger stone. stone was out there doing hills double peace si...

Serious people like cheney and kinzinger joining with the democrats to actually get to the bottom of it and even though were seeing a whole lot of stonewalling in terms of the testimony they are getting a hold of the documents, as we see from these -- the meadows text messages. so it appears they will be able to put together the story, and this needs to be told in full accuracy. >> dana milbank, i appreciate it. thank you. really fascinating. up next, breaking news, dominion voting wins a key de...
