that is where it is right now. they may still say look, you were subpoenaed to appear. you didn t appear. that s a crime. there are questions of privilege that are wrapped up in it. at the end of the day, it may be what it comes downs to for doj. kyle, mitch mcconnell says he was not in contact with mark meadows on january 6th. we have learned from the committee and other lawmakers were. what do we know about the trove of meadows texts and whose names could turn up? we know that one went from jim jordan to mark meadows. it was a legal analysis justifying theory of what pence could do to stop the election of biden. that is one we identified. the others, we understand, from lawmakers and other espousing these things.
interesting to reveal all of the participants involved. we are watching the investigation that s occurring in the house. reading about it like everyone else. it will be interesting to see what facts they find. it was a horrendous event. i think what they re seeking to find out is something that the public needs to know. read the reports every day. it will be interesting to see what they conclude. the signal of support for the select committee from mcconnell is at odds with kevin mccarthy who opposed the investigation. the select committee has been busy issuing a subpoena for the man who wrote the 38-page power point presentation over how to overturn the results of the election. that presentation was given to gop lawmakers before the attack on the capitol.

and people descending on on the capitol and yet, still, the government was flat footed or intentionally holding back its response. that s deeply disturbing. we have a glimpse at a few of the thousands of texts that meadows turned over to the committee. we know there are some from the republican colleagues who texted meadows. what do you think we will learn from that and why is that relevant to this? i think a lot echo the sentiments of donald trump junior or sean hannity and fox news meaning you have to call this off, mention the trump administration white house and trump specifically. it threatens their future prospects and his legacy and so forth. yet, i think the deeply disappointing aspect of this is
of the committee and congress that if they decide to stonewall, that they meet with the same consequences that bannon and meadows have so far. last night, trump homeland official ken cuccinelli answered questions for four hours over his interactions with meadows and donald trump. what do you hope the committee learned from him? what questions might you have asked him? i think the biggest question that people like myself and others who lived through january 6th was why did it take so long for a response once we knew what was happening at the capitol? what did people like cuccinelli and others know in the run-up to january 6th? we knew there was intelligence
