seek? there are some we know have thumbed their nose as far as we know about the issue. are you having difficulty trying to nail down the witnesses for these hearings? is there a scheduling issue? i know we have one person whose wife gave birth this week, and congratulations to him. are there outstanding issues getting people to be cooperative in front of the cameras? my rule of thumb is the closer you get to donald trump, the more difficult it gets to have them come in and voluntarily cooperate. but the good news is the vast majority of people, more than 1,000 people, have either complied with the subpoena or just voluntarily come in and consented to participate. but it s true we ve had to issue contempt citations against people like peter navarro and dan scavino and mark meadows and
but it is a coup organized by the president against the constitutional framework itself. the two contempt citations we vote on tonight will go to persons who have critical information about both components of this assault on america and the coordination between them. peter navarro worked to overthrow the election by nullifying 79 electoral college votes, cast by tens of millions of americans, who live in arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, new mexico, and wisconsin. how does so-called green bay sweep, which, by the way, is an insult to green bay packers all over the country. but has his so-called green bay sweep not been blocked by the bravery of our police officers, 150 of whom were injured, wounded, or hospitalized by insurrectionary violence and by
a long time. so that it has sort of taken that power away from itself. that means it can kind of issue these contempt citations for free. doesn t have to really worry about being held accountable. whereas i think that merrick garland, the attorney general, he can t just do this for show. he would have to really enforce. i think he s making the argument for why he should but it also would be a dramatic move to go after former presidential advisers in this way. and he doesn t so far we haven t seen him have the kind of temperament and appetite for that. he seems like a more cautious attorney general who wants to seem more moderate and i think that s part of why we re not seeing that, though i understand ellie s point of view. fairly put and i would note without any rhetorical questions. so i think folks who have watched the show for a long time that ellie is down to zero,
today why the justice department has taken no action on mark meadows found in contempt of crisis. the contempt citations are going to the doj and i think the public is seeing very little action. the doj expanded some invest gages and they say they will look as low or high, they don t care the position people are in. is there frustration about the speed of this investigation given we have another election, presidential election around the corner? i will tell you maybe as a point of distinction between our administration and the previous administration, we do not interfere. or attempt to influence the investigation of the process of justice. are you concerned that the 2024 election will face the same interference? are you concerned that our democracy won t hold if there is
it s time for politicians of all stripes to remember there is more that unites us than divides us and start acting like it. what you re saying it starts with us individually. right. we get for the most part the government we deserve. when you reward fame as the political virtue you get people who have no interest to legislate or doing their job, they just simply want to be famous. and you know, dana, i don t like relativism and duplicity. there are republicans who have voted both for and against contempt citations for the failure to produce documents. there are democrats who have voted both for and against. it depends whether or not they like the person who is being asked for the documents. eric holder, republicans could not wait to hold him in contempt of congress for not producing documents in fast and furious. somehow or another the analysis
