certainly looks like there is an ongoing criminal investigation into the events surrounding january 6th. obviously, if eric herschmann is going in as donald trump s lawyer, it involves donald trump. you have an ongoing grand jury investigation in the state of georgia. it s republican tapes and republican comments that had been made, that actually give that georgia investigation its biggest strength. lindsey graham desperately trying to get out of testifying because the secretary of state thinks he called him up and tried to get him to throw out legally cast ballots. then you have news that rudy giuliani also, a guy who was working feverishly to rig that election and others, also told he is under criminal investigation, as well. yes, for now, we are seeing through a glass darkly, but i think we can see the outlines of real trouble coming for all the

with them about election fraud, and, you know, i think it s important to say, this is the sort of the trump attempt to overturn the election. we know of mike pence in congress. but this stuff was done quietly and discreetly. the emails we obtained show it was compartmentalized. some lawyers involved in some states weren t shown what was going on in other states. they didn t want to publicize this. they tried to do it quickly and stealthily, to get into the machines and however prove votes were flipped and the machines were part of a foreign conspiracy to flip the election. your reporting shows this is a far more complicated effort than we believed in the initial weeks after the election. i want to ask you, on this, is there any legal consequence perhaps for this effort here that could be forthcoming? then, secondly, what safeguards could be put in place to prevent something like this from
