clerked for judge clarence tom a right? yes. so let me tell you what your former colleague on the january 6th committee vice chair liz cheney said about ginni thomas on cnn this weekend. the committee is engaged with her counsel and we certainly hope that she will come in voluntarily and the committee will subpoena if not. i hope she ll come in voluntarily. we ve spoken to numbers of people in terms of the discussions that she was having, as you mentioned. it is very important for us to speak with her, and as i said i hope she ll agree to come in voluntarily and i m sure we ll contemplate a subpoena. hers is involved stoking a deadly insurrection. any prediction on how this will go? if she ll come in voluntarily or subpoenaed. i hate to disappoint you, but i don t have inside information on that because given the fact
different. so as the public questions arise and become bigger about what the department is doing. trying to understand the differences between congress, the georgia prosecution the georgia prosecutors and the department. andrew weissmann, liz cheney seems so acutely aware of and one step ahead of these, but we can t because. we took on the issue of cross-examination and said do you really think that bill barr will wilt under cross-examination and not call it bs? do you really think i m going to get better answers from pat cipollone than the justice department? are you kidding? how have they effectively boxed in all of those arguments that were the traditional i don t want to say excuse structure, but the traditional explanations for not move as quickly as a local prosecutor or congressional committee? so i m hoping that mike is
