there, and it s this long protracted process, has already eroded a little bit of that trust that we are all, as national security professionals, equal before the law. so, that s part of the personal perspective there. on the political side, there s always the opportunity for a christmas surprise. if you really want to make some news and get everybody hopping, the reality is, we ve had those opportunities before, we have not seen that this is what the appetite for this justice department. they play it safe. they want everything buttoned up, that takes time, and that means the accountability for any of these things may be well beyond the public s attention or any political consequences. liam, on the report, do you think the january 6th committee was saying that the hope or their credibility or you know, they re not holding their breath on what s gonna happen in the doj? but i know i m interested in seeing this report from the january 6th committee, even if there is an appetite to fig
