Contribution that he offered to mr. meadows think tank, i think it was, and meadows is obviously in a position to report everything that donald trump was doing on that day. of course, he doesn t leave much to the imagination, rachel, because over the weekend, he was openly talking, trump pardoning january 6th criminals, so that was a message not just to the more than 700 people who essentially followed his exhortations and stormed the capitol, but also to people higher up in the ranks. he s basically saying stick with me, ride it all the way through the election, i ll get back in, and everything s going to be all right and it s an absolute scandal that there are still any self respecting republican elected officials who are standing by him at this point. is that obstruction of justice when he did that? i mean those are ongoing
The investigators planned to give him back a second time to give him a chance to plead the fifth, that was postponed several times due to medical reasons on jeff clark s part but today he showed up and seen entering the capitol today to meet with the january 6th investigation, everyone else wearing a mask but not him. he was there, not long, like i said, stuart rhodes from jail mostly taking the fifth was testifying six hours and jeff clark was there not even two hours. led to speculation that he used most if not all of that time just pleading the fifth but we don t know. joining us now is maryland congressman jamie raskin a member of the january 6th investigation in congress. congressman, thank you for being here today. thank you. hi, rachel, good to see you. all i know about mr. rhodes and mr. clark testifying today is from public reporting which i mostly just summarized. is there anything that you can add to that you re able to tell us about that testimony today?
The story together, and you know, no one is more eager to get going with the hearings than we are. but we also want to be able to tell a complete story. these are not going to be fragmentary episodic hearings, a little bit here and a little bit here, we will tell a complete story, beginning middle and end to best explain to people what we think happened on jan ray 6th and the events leading up to it, and why it took place and what to do to prevent future political coups and insurrections leveled against our democracy. so we plan for it to be both fine grain and particular but also comprehensive. and i would believe, rachel, that it is going to pack a very serious punch when people put it together like that, just like it did during the impeachment trial. what rioters were doing to our officers. maryland congressman jamie
Trend and it has seeped, not seeped, it has flooded into the mainstream. and that s what we re dealing with right now, rachel. mr. martin, i sort of tried to put this in context a little medical rms of the community in boston. because boston has a big powerful health care community, it is some of the best hospitals inni the world, they do attract medical talent from all overor e world, now that this harassment and targeted harassment of individualsm doctors and to a certain degree individual hospitals has reached this level of scariness and frankly to my eyes disgusting levels, is there any sign that these doctors, who have been personally targeted and terrorized like this, and the hospital, too,an are they getting support? are they getting backup from the broader end, as i say, powerful influential medical community in boston andin around new england?
