valdez that s a tough fight in a different direction. and kind of a strange statement. but i think that we are just heading for rising social and political tension as the red states tried to, in effect, run the country from . and it always happens when you try to expand rights for people who are, you know, not white. that s when it happens. yeah. pay attention people! thanks don! we ll be right back, we re gonna talk about catastrophic flooding in missouri. thank you so much don. missouri, now they are declaring a state of emergency! new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist ofuality candidates,
ahead of where the committee is. so i do find the timing a little bit interesting. susan, how do you see all these developments? i mean, there is a lot happening behind the scenes right now. well, that is exactly right. don we don t know what we don t know. but i do agree with carrie that is notable that this is also playing out a year and a half after the events in question. marc short, and greg jacob, the two senior aides to former vice president mike pence, these weren t surprise witnesses in the sense that we knew all along they were crucial firsthand witnesses. and information about donald trump s pressure campaign on his vice president emerge almost contemporaneously with the events of january 6th. so, one interesting question when we see the full historical record, is why did it take so long? why was it that the january six committee interviewed them before they were brought before the grand jury? does this mean that the grand jury only recently has turned its attention to t
again, many of the events that we are talking about now that the january 6th committee has brought new details about into the public sphere, in reality these are events that have been known in a general sense for quite some time. and so, it feels like there s some lag time between investigative timetable and what we are seeing. susan, to talk pence aides have testified and there is this focus that we are seeing placed on the pressure campaign against the former vice president doesn t say anything to you that this is becoming such a focus, a focal point for investigators? yeah, don, i m glad you brought it up. because i do think it goes directly to the issue of donald trump and his personal orchestration of the campaign against his own vice president. trump was the one who called in john eastman, the constitutional law professor who is advancing this sort of bogus theory. they wanted pence to apply to his own role.
