for the january 6th select committee, the ticking clock has prompted a last-minute print to share with the american public everything that they ve collected. this morning, the committee released yet another enlightening batch of transcripts from interviews with some of trump s closest allies. testimonies from people like ronna mcdaniel, kellyanne conway, and katrina pearson add new context to trump s state of mind in the lead-up to january 6th attack. however, the information we learned today was very important, this morning s release was follow-up to a veritable mother load from the committee shared overnight. a now public database of investigators underlying evidence, as well as some of their sources and methods. thousands of pages of phone records, text messages and emails. think of the committee s work like this. a master architect constructing a new home. a tom firm ground, they set a solid foundation. it raised a frame and with meticulous craftsmanship, it built a stru
