does that get into that overreach territory? >> i don't think they have to do that. i think there's going to be a lot of seeking of documents and documentation, of records that are going to prove their case. i think they will very judiciously exercise their subpoena authority and the witnesses they will be calling might come from the department of defense and the d.c. national guard and all of those elements that are going to lend a lot of credibility to this process. i just don't really see democrats calling people who are going to turn it into a circus. >> we have to leave it there. we could do an hour on this and i bet at some point we will. thank you all for being with us for this hour.
wanted. it's not ideal. but it the something. and knowing that the house democrats will retain the unilateral authority to issue sout subpoenas is a good sign. without subpoena authority, this goes nowhere. in addition to that, what they absolutely need are some credible insiders, people who understand the federal agencies that are at play here, specifically dhs and the fbi, and people who have the access to classified and the knowledge of the interworkings and the documents and the employees of the agencies to go in and ask the right, hard questions. and to bring those folks in and hear what they knew and what they did with what they knew prior to january 6th. a lot of work that needs to be dope. and hopefully, this select committee will get it done. >> my question is, if you don't nail this at the planning level, that there were bigger brains in doing this, it wasn't spontaneous, don't you run the
misconduct and juror high school kcon high school conduct, so it is likely that there will be an appeal fending on what the -- depending on what the sentence is. s sara sidner, cnn, minneapolis. house democrats say that they will try to get to the bottom of the capitol insurrection. nancy pelosi says that she will create a select committee on what led to the riots and the panel could also look into the possible role of donald trump and some dgop lawmakers, but la enforcement is already investigating the insurrection and a former deputy director was asked what the new committee could find that others already haven't. >> it is not what we wanted. it is not ideal. but it is something, right? and knowing that the house democrats will retaken unilateral authority to issue subpoenas is a good sign because without subpoena authority, this goes absolutely no where.
law-enforcement officer. odd thing for a tourist to do, no? let's dig into where this stands with the former-deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe. how compelling, to you, is a congressional-house investigation? >> well, chris, it's not what we wanted. it's not ideal. but it is something, right? and -- and knowing that the house democrats will retain unilateral authority to issue subpoenas is a good sign. because, without subpoena authority, this goes absolutely nowhere. but, in addition to that, what they, absolutely, need are some credible insiders. people who understand the federal agencies that are at play here. specifically, dhs and the fbi. and people who have the access to classified and the knowledge of the internal workings and the documents and the -- and the employees of those agencies to go in and ask the right, hard questions. and to bring those folks in. and hear what they knew, and
jeff sessions testify, and could there be prosecutions as a result? >> well, i mean, the challenges, it will be -- as manu's reporting said, it will be hard for the subpoenas, because the senate doesn't have unilateral subpoena authority. now, there is a long history of negotiation between the justice department, the white house and congress, over testimony and appearances, you know do they issue written testimony, do they come in for a deposition? whatever. i would like to think that they will, they should. at a minimum, you know, the house can bring them in, too. and schiff and jerry nadler of the house judiciary committee does have the power to issue a subpoena. you're far more likely to see that. >> what does president biden say about, white house jen psaki spoke and had this response to the leaked investigation. >> first of all, an ig
domestic terrorism and there should have been planning ahead. >> did your report indicate any deliberate effort to stall from authorities? >> we had a limited look at what happened here. we did not find that, but found delays that should not have occurred. that doesn't mean that there wasn't something going on that we didn't focus on because of our jurisdiction and our decision to focus on the immediate. one, there will be more investigations going out out of both committees including the hearing senator blount and i are having next week and i know senator peters and portman will be doing more. but the best place to look at all of that would be with a 9/11 independent commission with subpoena authority who would be able to look at all of that and bring in witnesses with a more
empower the chairman of that committee, which should be a democrat, to have unilateral subpoena authority. to have the ability to call hearingings. the idea this is a partisan issue is running cover for the people who committed this insurrectionist act. the way you get past that is the hearings that you have, the first people you call as witnesses are those capitol police officers. no one can accuse them of being partisan. no one can accuse them of having some crazy radical liberal progressive agenda. you put them front and center to tell their story, their firsthand testimony of about what they saw, what they felt, what they experienced, put that on tv, put that front and center and dare the republicans to sit there and say, this was just another day at the tourist capitol. this was just a bunch of friendly, peace-lovelying patriots exercising their rights. dare them to make that case in
kick it to a contingent election in the house, and donald trump would win because they controlled 27 of the state congressional delegations. we don't vote one member/one vote under a contingent election under the 12th amendment. we vote one state/one vote. so they were very close to conducting and perfecting that coup. now, there were right-wing elements like the proud boys and the three percenters who had an insurrection in mind, and they also were talking about violence against pence and nancy pelosi and killing members of congress. and then there were the people who were just brought in as rioters. but you got to peel the second onion to figure out what was really going on. and i'm in the process of trying to do that. i hope that we have a commission that can do it formally and publicly. and, remember, this commission we voted for in the house, don, five republicans, five democrats, equal subpoena authority, right down the middle, just like the 9/11 commission, and they won't take yes for an answer. and that was exactly what kevin mccarthy was asking for.

With bipartisan support and overriding (for the first and only time during the Trump presidency) a presidential veto, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) on January 1, 2021.
1 As part of the NDAA, Congress enacted the most comprehensive and substantial changes to the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”), since the USA PATRIOT Act amended the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) in 2001. While the AMLA expressly addresses defense and national security concerns regarding money laundering and terrorism, the wide-ranging legislation, which expands the government’s enforcement and investigative authority, as well as its access to information, has significant implications for government investigations generally.
