will damage public perceptions of the justice system which is something we can t afford as a country. miles, let me push back gently. i agree with just about everything you ve said. but they ve already done it. they ve already threatened the lives of the fbi agents who were involved in the mar-a-lago case. they ve already threatened the irs. they ve threated all that related to the mar-a-lago probe. they ve already threatened every member of the january 6th select committee. they successfully ran liz cheney out of office. they ve encouraged the retirement of others. all that s already happen happened. so why don t we ever get to the point where everyone is going to do the right thing? yeah, i think you re right. it s not the reason not to do this. it s the reason they need to go forward with the prosecution any way. because if people don t end up behind bars because of this, it s going to justify all the behavior you just mentioned. we have seen individuals show up with ar-15s and
to dramatically change the game. okay. i m sorry to jump around, but barbara, i have to come to you and ask you to name names. which people would be most valuable if you re sitting at doj of that group that miles described? well, i think i don t know if they re unnamed, but there are a couple of names of people we haven t heard from yet, dan scavino, peter navarro. the justice department has the ability to compel their testimony. they can grant them immunity and have them testimony. the only reason they can t testify in that point would be to go to jail. because once they re granted immunity, it trumps their use of their fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. so people like that, i also imagine look at some of these text messages will reveal people who had communications that can be helpful. although this is the opportunity for the rats to avoid the sinking ship and come forward to be witnesses instead of defendants, i think the justice department can make this case ev
yeah, what s really stunning here is the fact that there has been no one in the republican conference that has done more to get republicans in this majority position. he raised tons and tons of money over this last election. he visited all of the districts. he was throughout on the stump living on an airplane, trying to get republicans in the majority. and at this point, it s unclear what if anything could be enough. so the question then kind of comes to, one, does he stay in? does he have some embarrassing two or three votes and able to do some wheeling and dealing on the house floor tomorrow, or does he at some point have to say you know what? i m not going to be the guy. and that really, really scrambles things. because the reason why these conservatives are having such a hard time with this issue is because there isn t anybody else running who is a credible candidate against kevin mccarthy. so when you look down the line, is it going to be a steve
and to katie benner s superb point, no one was asking if the officers were okay. nobody was asking how many of their own supporters have been injured. nobody was asking what they re talking about are ongoing interview processes that are thwarted or in danger. let me read this text exchange to you this. is hope hicks and julie radford. she was i believe ivanka trump s chief of staff. hope hicks all of us that didn t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. i m so mad and so upset. well all look like domestic terrorists now. now is such an interesting word, miles. bradford replies, oh, yes, i m been crying for an hour. hope hicks she has no idea this made us unemployable. god, i m so f ing mad. julie radford. i know. like there isn t a chance of finding a job. visa also sent me a blowoff email today, dot dot dot.
legislation? when we look at sort of the command and control environment of washington, d.c., we have the capitol police, the metropolitan police department, the secret service, the uniformed division, the secret service, the fbi, national guard that doesn t report to the mayor. those are all legitimate hard questions. but then there are things that the mayor s talking about. did implicit bias play a role in failing to see this coming because law enforcement is disproportionately made up of white conservative men? did donald trump s pressure on the fbi and elsewhere cause the fbi to not investigate as they should? those are hard unacceptable issues. and i think at the end of the day there are a lot of things in the january 6th committee i was hoping they d do a little more to sort of tease out all of these various threads. but i think certainly the mayor has a point but the fact is there are a lot of different things that went into the failure of january 6th. well, pete, you ask all
