which we all saw, as to why the committee investigating the insurrection would want to speak to him. on that list of house republicans subpoenaed, today is at least one somewhat scott perry, of pennsylvania. he was one of the central figures in trump s plot to stay in power. he figures quite prominently in the senate judiciary report on the efforts to overturn the election, beyond amplify and trump s false election fraud claims, working to prevent his own constituents votes from being certified. he acknowledged introducing jeffrey clark to trump. clark is a key figure, remember, he was in the department of justice, he was the official essentially tried to pull off a coup in a department of justice, where he would strong-arm the acting attorney general into leaving, or at least stealing the election by sending out these official letters to the department of justice. saying, quote, georgia and several other states that it was investigating voting irregularities, and recommend that ea
she wants that gavel, and in the past she and other democratic leaders have recruited pro-life candidates, and he is one of the few incumbents left who is pro-life. right, but i mean let s talk about the power questions, the fbi raided cuellar s apartment, or his house, right? now again, this seems like a not great thing to have hanging over a candidate, so even if your take away abortion you re thinking, who do we want to come out of this primary? cuellar his representatives have said that he s not a target, but that seems like not the biggest assurance do we know anything about what the deal was with the fbi raid. i ve never worked the phones harder on the story, and i ve nothing on this. this is the strangest race i ve ever covered, and i ve covered again hundreds of congressional races, they happen in january in a really bad time and it really serious questions in the legal community about the

the insurrection, they were always going to be terrible for republicans, for donald trump. so bad in fact that his only hope was to try to turn the investigation itself into something illegitimate. katko s compromise did and the passing the hosts, it actually got 35 republicans on board which it did not that many but more than what he would vote for today, that is for sure. but, then the commission died in the senate after mitch mcconnell came out against, it whipped votes against it, and republicans filibustered. after careful consideration, i have made a decision to oppose the house democrats unbalanced proposal for another commission to study the events of january the 6th. is everybody surely knows, i repeatedly made my views about the events of january the 6th very clear. i spoke clearly, and left no doubt about my conclusions. well mitch, you, know if you are done with it then i guess everyone should move on. by, the way the unbalanced line
