saw zo lofgren, a member of the community, hint on the air they re considering offing immunity to jeffrey clark. i don t like that idea because it s fraught with peril. you cannot prosecute somebody after you give them immunity. i don t like letting jeffrey clark off the hook but it smacks of, hey, we re working this like the mob, we want to flip him to get to somebody bigger but he s already a big fish and i get worried about coordination or lack thereof between the committee and doj. anything that impacts potential prosecution should really be coordinating carefully. ryan, i want you to feel free to add any reporting you have on this idea of being some type of pressure campaign and also your new reporting of the fbi s online database of 1/6 suspects. you write, the fbi has in some cases removed images from the database of individuals who haven t been arrested, sparking conspiracy theories from trump supporters for trying to paint january 6th not as an attack
software that engages in both predictive analysis and also network analysis that can tell you, look, while this guy was talking to this person at this time, this similar conversation was going on here. and then they hooked up an hour later. we can tell that through e-mail, through text, et cetera. that s all good news on a level of certification. i m with barb, though, on this pressure concept. i m troubled, actually, by the notion that the committee might feel compelled to pressure doj to do the right thing or to prosecute what they otherwise would not prosecute. i don t believe that should be happening. we kind of saw this enterprise theory and pressure thing play out last week when we saw zoe lofgren, a member of the committee, hint on the air that they re considering offering use immunity to jeffrey clark. i don t like that idea because use immunity is fraught with peril. you can t really prosecute someone after giving them immunity. i don t like letting jeffrey clark off the hook.
