all of pd, step back step back up to the upper deck all pd step back up to the upper deck [ chanting ] all: nancy! nancy! still so difficult to watch that maybe even more so when you take into account what the january 6th committee s final report says about all the warning signs that existed federal and local law entheoriesment in r in possession of multiple strings of violence directed at the capitol prior to january 6th although some of that intelligence was prag meantary should have been sufficient to have far more preparations failure to sufficiently share and act upon intelligence jeopardized lives of the police officers defending the capitol and everyone in it back with our panel. tracy, i wonder how you read that and what you think?
what it expects to prove absolutely, you re doj you now have your entire case file exposed and not necessarily a good thing that means possible attendants or other witnesses are able to see what you have and able to restore their own and not a good position to be in. joyce, you gave voice to early exasperation on the part of this role reversal, if you will, that, again, we don t know what we don t know we don t know exactly where doj is, but we do know, some indication, that the dramatic testimony of cassidy hutchinson, among others, was news to them was novel and revelatory the committee made a decision to function with proving criminality and achieving the hurdles for proving criminality as its goal at least in terms of what they put into the public arena. the report is no exception i want to go back and show some
to governor by any lies necessary. the january 6th committee said this cannot go forward and i think the american public felt, not just saw, but felt that they were in danger, that democracy was in danger. and if the committee s role was to create that emotional connection and that passion for what government should be and what it wasn t over the last few years, but particularly leading up to and subsequent to january 6th, they did an extraordinary job. i mean, kim, just to come back to where we started with luke s reporting, that nancy pelosi knew that would be the case, that nancy pelosi knew that after two impeachments where republicans didn t have the you know whats that they all knew would have been the right thing to do, to put liz cheney in the cockpit with chairman bennie thompson, to try to do something about her own party, and to do what i think basil just articulated perfectly, to
