to hide behind these general statements that the former president is making around executive privilege so that they don t have to respond to the subpoena. but we re not going to let them do that. the reality is that nobody is above the law. if you are subpoenaed as an average citizen, you respond to that subpoena. if you don t, there are consequences. what you saw the select committee do tonight is to move forward in the next step to ensure that we move forward on criminal contempts so there are consequences to what steve bannon has done. consequences are in part a function of speed of process, especially if you re trying to send a message not just to bannon but to other people who have been subpoenaed.
government at the time when he had this conversation. so if there s any conversation to protect, it must mean that the president and bannon are trying to hide they were having conversations related to january 6 and they were trying to hide behind these general statements that the former president is making around executive privilege so that they don t have to respond to the subpoena. but we re not going to let them do that. the reality is that nobody is above the law. if you are subpoenaed as an average citizen, you respond to that subpoena. if you don t, there are consequences. what you saw the select committee do tonight is to move forward in the next step to ensure that we move forward on criminal contempts so there are consequences to what steve bannon has done. consequences are in part a function of speed of process, especially if you re trying to send a message not just to bannon but to other people who have been subpoenaed. how quickly do you think a prosecution could happen
news because if they did, they would have even more contempts for us. lisa, what is your flop? it s always global warming isn t it? my big flop is harris is heading out of town while afghanistan is in crisis. she announces she will stop at her home in california to campaign for governor newsom. which of these campaign advisors thought this was a good idea? the biggest foreign policy disaster playing out in time. 55% of americans don t think she s qualified to be president or can handle the duties. she was polling at 7% in her home state when she was running for the democrat nominee and dropped out before iowa. who had the bright idea that this is the move that s going to seal the deal for gavin newsom? i want him to lose, but not smart. joe, sorry. yeah, not a problem. so we had an msnbc host, and he quotes the notorious big song
he threw them out of his office and had another witness testifying on live television today that in the view of bolton, this was a no go zone. yeah, nobody had ever heard of many of these witnesses before this incident, but bolton had brand. bolton came to the white house with brand. and credibility. really, i mean i hope that bolton is doing some soul searching. about whether or not he should be complying with the subpoena. he should. and the reason they should go ahead and subpoena him. get him in. the bottom line is if hemts to fight it in court, firn. but that s why they re saying they don t need him because they don t want to take the time it takes to run these contempts through court. it takes months to run contempts through court if someone defies a subpoena. we re going to have volcker come up next. let s compare and contrast the testimony of vindman versus volcker.
