so one offer to the republicans was, share power as equals. and they said no. so now they're going to get a chitty where they're in the minority and don't have the same power. how do you understand why they have chosen that? >> well, it is pretty remarkable because it's a big leap of faith when you're the majority to say, let's do a commission. it will be 50/50. >> yes. >> and frankly, if you're not operating in good faith, you can stop the commission by refusing to grant any subpoena. so that was a remarkable, you know, expression, i think, of goodwill. and more than that, commitment to do this the way it should be done. and the republicans said no. and the reason they said no is they don't want it done. they're afraid that it will show complicity among their members in propagating the big lie, in creating the environment for that insurrection. whatever their fears are, they don't want this to see the light of day, and most particularly, donald trump doesn't.
