Serving in the government at the time. is the committee prepared if the u.s. justice department decides not to prosecute meadows? >> were prepared to do our job today at the committee level that we hold him in criminal contempt just by virtue of not showing up to our hearing. there are ways for mr. meadows, and he has been trying to hide behind broad privilege claims. he could come before the committee and specify to each question what privilege he feels exists. he has not done that. hes provide...

So um, you know, i think in that sense, were already seeing the maga crowd kind of take control of this committee and kind of steer it into a ditch which i think is the other significance from todays news. >> an interesting idea, gloria, josh -- that steve bannon has sort of set this high bar for what it means to truly, truly be slavishly loyal to the former president. >> well, he has. and um, im sure donald trump loves it. and thats exactly what steve bannon wants but -- and dont forget, steve ...
