upset. the police, the congress, all the staff at risk, these people are more upset about this than you are. that s what he told the republican leader. marjory taylor green, mick mulvaney, all of them sending tweets in the 2:30 to 3:00 range saying stop, active shooter on the floor, president needs to tell these people to go home he needs to stop this now, he s got to condemn this shit asap, remember cassidy hutchinson had a draft statement, a tweet saying anyone entering the capitol initially said illegally, crossed out to be proper authority. the president did not send that tweet. around 3 p.m. they tried to get
democrats. this isn t a partisan witch hunt? is that what you re saying? it s hard to believe. damning testimony today to talk about coming from the hearings that happened up on the hill today. we have lots to discuss. we re going to get straight to evan perez, senior justice correspondent. good evening to you. the big headlines on today s hearings asked for pardons. tell us more about this and how our lawmakers responded. don, one of the big things we learned near the end of this hearing, which was a blockbuster by the time we got to this, there were at least six members of congress who were part of the group that objected to the certification of joe biden s victory who reached out in various places to the white house to ask for pardons. those include matt gates, mo brooks, andy biggs, marjory
biggs, gomert, possibly marjorie taylor greene, too. what does it say they re issing for pardons? i think of how unprecedented this this is. you have multiple members of congress seeking a pardon from the administration for their role in something. here their role was in a plot to overturn the election. it clearly shows a consciousness of guilt and a fear of criminal liability. thats why you seek a pardon and that s really just another. there was a search yesterday at jeffrey clark s residence. does your committee have any information that could aid the d.o.j. that could serve in their
times violently like a man possessed. they filed an arrest because he clearly was a threat. but jake auchinencloses deafed him as noticeable and justified. our office is not going to apologize read a long and self-righteous statement from jake auchen encloses. in other words we don t like marjory taylor green s politics so we can do whatever we want to her and we will. for the motor part the media ignored the story so he and adam shift felt em bold bed to go further they invited colbert s employees to harass marjory taylor green and more which is what they were doing with they were arrested by police. wimp you think of her politics she is a sitting member of congress. preventing her or any other member of congress from fulfilling her duties as a representative is by definition an attack on democracy. so how is what stephen colbert
then back to new york. why is that? what exactly is the difference in the crime. that s aids legal question we still don t know the answer. for some reason capitol hill police have not released the surveillance tape that would show exactly what colbert s employees did that so trickled the police force controlled by nancy pelosi that they were arrested. but whatever they did, otherwise sympathetic members of congress are running away from it as quickly as they can. quote, we do not condone any inappropriate activity within the capitol, jake s office told us today. so as a factual matter, that is not true. in fact, jake has a recent history of condoning criminal behavior in the capitol. just this march, surveillance cameras in the complex caught jake s chief of staff, that would be a former adam schiff staffer vandalizing the front door of marjory taylor green s personal office. he did this not once but several
