nondescript republican there, do you think that's having an impact on the committee's work? >> i think it's having a huge impact. first of all, liz cheney is a republican. adam kinzinger is a republican. there are republican staff members on the committee. so there's bipartisan input. but whether you're a democrat or a republican on that committee right now, there's really no disagreement. no one is objecting. there's no turbulence. they don't have to watch out for any kevin mccarthy republicans. things are working very smoothly. if kevin mccarthy had had republican members he appointed on the committee, who were objecting to the committee's work, he could have slowed the committee's work down. also, and maybe most important, he would know what was going on. right now he has no idea what's going on behind the scenes, jake. >> governance by tantrum seldom works out. jamie gangel, thank you. here to discuss, legal analyst
